Note

This sauce yields approximately 2 1/2 cups.

Because the sauce contains sugar, it burns easily. It is best brushed onto food during the last 5 to 10 minutes of grilling or cooking to prevent charring.

Pass the remaining sauce around the table as a dipping condiment.

Storage: Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The flavors will continue to meld and improve over time.
