"Because it contains sugar, it burns easily and is best brushed on during the last 5 minutes or 10 minutes of cooking so that it forms a light glaze. Pass the remaining sauce at the table."

Great tasting sauce, although I did make a couple of changes ~ I used just 2 teaspoons of chili powder & 2 drops of the hot pepper sauce, & that provided more than enough heat for the 2 of us! I used a bit of it on grilled burgers & the rest made up a test dip for a couple of chicken fingers! Outstanding both ways, & definitely a keeper of a recipe! Thanks for posting it!
