Instructions: In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute the onions and garlic in the olive oil until soft but not brown. Stir in the cumin, ginger, salt and pepper. Add the vinegar, orange juice, bay leaves, catsup, molasses, Tabasco, brown sugar, hoisin sauce and butter. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 1 hour, or until thick. Remove bay leaves and keep sauce warm. Place the oysters in their shells on a hot grill. As soon as they pop open, spoon the warm barbecue sauce over them, and serve immediately. Some will open rather quickly, in a couple of minutes. Discard those that do not open.
