Instructions: To prepare barbecue sauce, combine sugars, broth & hot water in saucepan.

Simmer until sugars are dissolved; then add mustard, vinegar, liquid smoke, tomato paste, ground chile, jalapenos, pequin & garlic. Bring to boil, reduce heat & simmer, uncovered, at least 30 minutes. Taste & adjust seasonings. Combine flour & 1 Tsp salt. Heat bacon drippings or oil in large, deep pot over high heat. Dredge venison in flour mixture; add to hot oil & cook until browned on both sides. Spoon off excess fat. Preheat oven to 325. Drizzle 1/4 sauce over meat; arrange half the onion rings on top.

Cover & bake 30 minutes; then turn, drizzle with some of the remaining sauce & top with remaining onion rings. Cover & continue to bake 1-1/2 hours longer or until meat is very tender when pierced. Keep remaining sauce simmering while venison is baking; pass at the table to serve over meat.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

TIP: If you want to make this barbecue sauce alone, to use as a sauce for cooked meats or a baste for barbecued meats, simmer about 2 hours or until slightly thickened. Then adjust seasoning as directed.
