I use this often on my outdoor and indoor grill or for broiling, brush this on the last 15-20 minutes of cooking time. Plan ahead this sauce needs to chill for a minimum of 6 hours before using. This will keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

I have been making this sauce for years. It is good and tangy. You can adjust the heat if needed. I would recommend this recipe
