Step 1

In a medium saucepan, stir together the brown sugar, cornstarch and chili powder. Add the tomato sauce, vinegar, catsup and corn syrup; stir. Add 1/2 cup water. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir the orange juice into the sauce. Return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5 more minutes.
