In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Enjoy the bacon.
Add the onion to the pan with the rendered fat and cook over medium-low heat until it begins to caramelize, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 3 minutes.

Add the broth, sugar, vinegar, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Simmer until the sauce thickens, 15-20 minutes.
Let cool to room temperature before using. This sauce goes great with beef brisket or short ribs.
