“

I really enjoy making and using this sauce. The different ingredients bring out so many flavours. There are notes of sweet and spicy, and a hint of sour. This sauce can be used for basting ribs and as a dipping sauce for delicate meats like pimento wood smoked beef tenderloin. Hope you enjoy this recipe.
