Very good! DH and I completely enjoyed this, I will be adding this to the rotation.

This was okay. I just think there is too much vinegar in the sauce; two hours later I could still feel the taste of vinegar in my mouth (and that after dessert too).

We inhaled this!! By all means, definitely double the sauce! The sugar snaps added a wonderful crunch. Loved it!
