Brewed coffee and instant coffee granules add rich color and depth to this sweet-and-sour sauce. It’s wonderful spooned over grilled chicken or pork chops. —Julia Bushree, Georgetown, Texas

I adjusted this recipe to be less tangy and a little sweeter. Used 1/2 cup of vinegar, 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 cup or more of brown sugar and a little more instant coffee

I am the cook in a coffee house in Arkansas... couldn't resist trying the recipe because coffee was one of the ingredients.The sauce is awesome... I did make a few minor adjustments after the first batch.. cut the cider vinegar by 1/4 cup and added 1/4 cup of molasses.We used only very strongly brewed espresso coffee in the mix and our customers love it! :)

Have made many barbeque sauces over the years. This recipe used ingredients that a had on hand. I was going to use this on chicken breasts, but when it was finished, I knew that it needed to go with pork back ribs. I Slow Smoked (Mesquite) the ribs, for about 2 1/2 hours. Then slathered on the sauce. The family really enjoyed this recipe!!Will be using this recipe for our daughters University Graduation Party this spring. Thanks for this great recipe.
