Cocoa Five Spice BBQ Sauce

Last night we had the pleasure of participating in the Zinfandel Advocates and Producers tasting event at Fort Mason in SF.  BR Cohn asked us to pair with them.  I created a Cocoa Five Spice Smoked Pork Shoulder on Polenta with this BBQ sauce.  Boy was it a hit.  Many asked for the recipe, so here is our secret sauce.
