A very tasty sauce. I only used 1/2 t of cayenne pepper as I felt that 1 t would have been too much for us. It was still quite hot. Served it the typical Aussie way on top of fresh bread rolls filled with salad and King Prawns.

The aroma while cooking was great! This was a zippy, spicy-sweet BBQ dipping sauce. I bet it would be great on chicken wings, too. Thanks, ~Sue
