    Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
   In a 2-quart saucepan fry the bacon over high heat until crisp. Stir
   in the onions, cover pan, and continue cooking until onions are dark
   brown, but not burned, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
   Stir in the seasoning mix and cook about 1 minute. Add the stock,
   chili sauce, honey, pecans, orange juice, lemon juice, orange and
   lemon rinds and pulp, garlic, and Tobasco, stirring well.  Reduce
   heat to low; continue cooking about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
   Remove orange and lemon rinds. Continue cooking and stirring about 15
   minutes more  to let the flavors marry. Add the butter and stir until
   melted. Remove from heat. Let cool about 30 minutes, then pour into a
   food processor or blender and process until pecans and bacon are
   finely  chopped, about 10 to 15 seconds. This sauce may be used to
   barbecue chicken, pork or ribs. Makes about 5 Cups. From Paul
