very good, but it dried out a little too much. I think my pieces of pork were too small. The sauce was delicious.

Delicious glaze which I have now used several times in different permutations. Another keeper, Rita!

Chef Kate
The glaze is phenomenal! I'll use it again for other things. The ribs turned out nice and juicy. Next time I may cut the cooking time for the last half of the cooking down or reduce the temp so that the wonderful glaze doesn't burn. These are delicious! Made for Newest tag...thanks for sharing your delicious recipe!
