Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise “I loved it a lot,” raves one Allrecipes community member. “The flavors complement each other very well. The thing I did differently was just how I cooked it. I threw the ingredients of the sauce in a slow cooker with pork ribs and let it do its magic that way.” “This was a great recipe, one that I will certainly be making again in the future,” says Thatcher Drake. “I used mine to glaze a mango which I roasted until blackened, along with several root vegetables and onions and squash.” “This quickly turned into a family favorite,” according to mkgilson. “We eat this with wings, stir fries, and ramen noodles. Good basic sauce [that] we can store and use a few times.” Editorial contributions by Corey Williams Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 1x 2x 4x Oops! Something went wrong.
