I followed the directions, except we got impatient and ate it hot. I don't recommend this. Way too spicy, glaze too sweet. I tried some leftovers cold and can't say I cared for that much more, but I didn't try too much... just a bite. This recipe is too long and complicated for not being very good. Sorry... I just didn't care for it.
