Submitted by blucoat

"Recipe is from Bon Appétit (July 2010) by Steven Raichlen. A great recipe with wonderful, complex flavours, the right consistency (no too thin or thick), and not too sweet. You may want to double or triple this recipe; it's that good! DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover; chill. Use at room temperature."
