1. In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook 4 to 5 minutes, until softened and starting to brown.
2. Add tomato paste, chili powder, garlic powder and cinnamon and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
3. Stir in tomato sauce, honey, vinegar, molasses, Worcestershire, and 2 tablespoons mustard.
4. Bring sauce to a boil over medium-low heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. (Be careful, as the hot sauce splatters when simmering.)
