Watermelon barbecue sauce

1 tablespoon Onion Powder
1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
2 cups Firmly packed brown sugar
½ cup Sherry
2 teaspoons Lemon juice

Cut the melon into chunks 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.
