Home Made Barbecue Sauce (thought experiment)

Using this recipe from lonotter as an inspiration, I was thinking about making my own. I like sweetish tomato (as opposed to mustard) barbecue sauces.

• 2 bottles hard apple cider (maybe three)


• 1/2 cup cider vinegar


• 1/4-1/2 cup molasses


• 1 (small) can tomato paste


• 1 medium onion, finely chopped (I might go two)


• 1 T chili powder


• Garlic (quite a bit)


• 1-2 T cumin


• Salt (a little)


• Pepper (at least 1 t)

Simmer for an hour or so.

What would you do to this thought-experiment recipe? I'm wondering what other herbs or spices would go well. I did a quick survey on RecipeSource, a lot of the recipes they have include Worcestershire Sauce, that's a definite possibility.
