You've got a winner here, Michelle! A perfect combination of sweet, tangy and smoky. I made it this morning and let it sit in the fridge for about 10 hours. Served as a dipping sauce for Morning Star Buffalo Wings and TJ's Trader Potato Tots. So yummy! I will be passing this recipe on to my SIL because my nephew LOVES BBQ sauce and this is better than anything you can buy in a grocery store. Thanks for sharing!

This was a really good sauce. I gave it 4 stars because it was a bit to sweet for my taste but that's easily remedied with less sugar. I think next time I will lesson the amount of sugar and the amount I do choose, I will half it with pure maple syrup as I think it might be a bit healthier. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Well done.

This was the 3rd dip I took to a neighborhood potluck, & those attending really enjoyed it, as did we! I've yet to try it as a BBQ sauce, but I will, that's for sure! Still, it does work absolutely great as a dip, & I'll have it on my finger food counter the next time I host one of my monthly get-togethers! Many thanks for sharing the recipe!
