in a medium sauce pan over medium heat mix butter, brown sugar and water. Bring to a boil stirring frequently. Boil to 250* not quite hard ball stage.
-
reduce heat to a simmer and add tomato sauce. The sugar mixture may seize depending on the temperature of the tomato sauce. That's fine, just stir until the sugar mixture dissolves.
-
add the rest of the ingredients and let simmer 10-20min stirring occasionally. Flavors will develop as it sits.

If you want a thicker sauce cook the butter and sugar longer, but keep a close eye on it so it doesn't burn. It'll thicken up in the fridge.
-
Refrigerate till ready to use, will keep several weeks in the fridge.

I usually make large batches of this and can it.
