Directions
- Well -- Directions are simple. For each sauce, simply mix all the ingredients in a small measuring cup and then brush on the meats or seafood or poultry as they grill, roast, broil, bake or pan sear. Nothing more. A simple idea to make your dish a bit unique.
- And remember, don't be afraid to add some extra flavors, or chopped nuts, or more spice, or more seasoning. But remember these are meant to be quick easy sauces for a quick dinner.
- Give them a try and enjoy!
