What can I say that's not been said already about this sauce? It was excellent! I reduced it way down to get it very thick as I cooked it on ribs. It wasn't hot spicy, it was sweet and tangy. (I thought it might be more so with the tabasco, but it wasn't) It was wonderful, plan to use it a lot. Thanks!

I know this is Todd Wilbur's Top Secret Recipe, but it has far too much vinegar in it. The first time I made this I reduced the vinegar to 2/3 c as suggested in reviews of various postings of this recipe. It was still over the top acidic from the vinegar. The amount of molasses also overpowers the delicate flavour of the honey. What I do now is use 1/4c apple cider vinegar, 1/4 c molasses & 1/4 c brown sugar, and leave the rest of the ingredients as noted. I also don't find that I need to simmer it for the noted length of time or it gets too thick.

<p>I am one of the early members of Zaar joining in October 2001. It was instantly my favorite site even though there were only about 5000 recipes. Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p>
