Very delicious sauce. I decided to use as a marinade for chicken since it had all these great flavors and spices. I added some fresh squeezed orange juice for a little acid. I always have these ingredients on hand so I will def make and use again for other things. DH gave it 15 stars lol. Thanks Made for ZWT 5 :)
