  1. The recipe is great. We doubled it and had a taste before canning. It was very different from boring ketchup, very close to the jerk sauce that we love at our favorite jerk restaurant. We can't wait to taste the aged version in a few weeks. Thanks DiB's for another great recipe!
     
  2. When I saw this I was wanting to make something a little different. I was leery about the bananas but figured I'd go with it. Am I glad I did. This has an unusual tase that I really can't describe. I didn't use the rum because I don't like rum but otherwise didn't change anything. This is really good brushed over broiled chiken breasts and great as just a condiment. The only it DOESNT seem to go with is plain old french fries lol.
