I used this sauce with some country ribs, and I agree, it was very rich and thick, smelled wonderful while baking, not as overly sweet as some sauces I have tried, and a bit different than some of the traditional barbeque sauces. I will say that I discovered I'm not that overly fond of the combination of orange and molasses flavors, but that is a personal taste, and I feel this sauce is definitely worth a try.

Oh Chia, this sauce came out so rich and thick! The taste is very good. I used dark molasses so the sauce might be darker but still delicious! Thanks!
