METHOD

1. Place a medium sauce pan over high heat and add the vegetable oil.

2. When heated, add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes.

3. Carefully add the dark rum to flambé, tilting the pot away from your face to prevent burns.

4. When flame dies down, stir gently and immediately add the guava jam.

5. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the jam has melted down in consistency.

6. Add the bbq sauce, cumin, paprika and chili powders. Stir to combine and let simmer for 8 to 10 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent aggressive bubbles from breaking the surface.
