Tropical Bar-B-Que Sauce

Lately the Raging Mr. and I have been in production mode. We have been canning
tomato sauce, carrots, green beans, salsa, cranberry BBQ sauce, etc...

We still have a lot of tomatoes left so we started talking about what to do with
them and the Raging Mr. said he would like to make at least two other types of
BBQ sauce. We want to make a Honey Mustard BBQ and we were trying to come up
with an unexpected one. There had been a grapefruit sitting on the kitchen
table for a while, tropical lead us to Jamacan Jerk seasoning. It was still not
fully formulated so I went to work looking at BBQ sauce recipies, quanties,
ingredients and formulas.

This morning I rememberred that we had some Tamarind pulp in the freezer and
this recipie was born.

the heat. It is moderately spicy.
