Heat the oil in a 1-quart pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté. Add the rest of the ingredients, stir, cover, and reduce heat.
Simmer for 45 minutes or until reduced to 2 cups of sauce. Cool and place in a jar. This will keep for two weeks when refrigerated.
Game Over
Get rid of the gamy flavor of venison and other popular game meats using one of two methods. Employ a slow cooker or soak the meat overnight in milk or tomato juice. Drain the meat and discard the soaking liquid.
