We really enjoyed this quick and easy to make recipe. The pork was perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful. The sauce is very sweet yet tasty. Next time I will not add the brown sugar. Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe. Made for What's on the Menu? Tag Game

The sauce gave a great taste to the pork. Next time I'll slice the pork and let marinade in the sauce. Since we didn't really care for the extra sauce to dip in. Thanks Oolala :) Made for Alphabet tag game

Easily the best pork glaze I've EVER tasted. I love how tender it is because of the indirect cooking, and the glaze doesn't burn at all because it's not in contact with the flame. DH and I will be making this all spring, summer and fall. Thank you!

Excellent flavour! A really nice blend of sweet and savoury. It went very well with grilled corn. Definitely kid-friendly as well, since my 2 year old girls kept asking for more sauce. I added 3 cloves of garlic instead of 1 (I typically triple the garlic in any recipe I make), and left the sauce out of the fridge. I couldn't quite understand why it needed to be refrigerated, so I kept it warm on the stove, and it was wonderful. I think this recipe would work very well for guests with picky children. Everyone should be happy! Thanks for posting Oolala.

I simply loved this recipe. I was skeptical about the ketchup at first (even though I love ketchup) but it was so delicious. I did however leave out the ginger, I also used 3x garlic, 2x soy sauce, 3x dry mustard, and I added worcestor sauce. From now on, this is the only sauce I will use on my pork. Thank you!
