 ~------------------------------------------------------
 ~----------------- In a heavy nonaluminum saucepan
 over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the onion,
 celery, pepper, and garlic for 5 minutes, or until the
 onion is tender but not browned.  Add the remaining
 ingredients.  Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, until
 the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally. Discard the
 lemon slices and bay leaf.  Brush the sauce on
 chicken, ribs, frankfurters, or hamburgers during
 grilling, broiling, or baking. Makes 2-1/4 cup.
