This sauce saved the day on a BBQ dinner. I served it alongside pulled pork & slathered it on cooked pork ribs I had in the freezer. The flavor isn't traditional Texas barbeque, but wow! The tang fit well with the smokey flavors and was the star of the meal. Made for Fall '09 Pick A Chef.

A neighbor of mine was looking for a sweet & sour BBQ sauce, & since I was sure I'd seen several such recipes here on Zaar, I offered to find one for him! Well, when I found this one convenient for me to kidnap, I just had to make it up for him, & he & his wife were gushing so much with praise for it that I HAD TO GIVE THEM a copy of the recipe & give you 5 stars! Also keeping this in the Sassy Sauces cookbook that I keep! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed as a kidnapped recipe in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #16]

Oh I loved this! DH isn't a fan of sweet and sour but liked it too! The various flavours come though at various times while you are eating, the sherry, the garlic, a little heat. I used these on pork chops and will definiately be making these again in the future. Please see my rating system: 4 excellent stars for a complex mixture of tastes that work so much better together than I first imagined. Thanks!
