Watermelon Barbecue Sauce

• 1 - 6 pound seedless watermelon chunk
• 8 ounces tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sherry
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke

Cut the melon into pieces and place in a saucepan. Cook it uncovered over medium heat until the melon is the consistency of applesauce (approximately 2-3 hours). Stir it occasionally. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer uncovered over low heat for 2 hours. Allow to cool to room temperature before using.
