We loved this recipe, I did substitute Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Salt for the garlic, salt and pepper. The glaze is delicious, good call on doubling the glaze! I will definitely make again.

This makes a lot! Very, very good. :) I would make double the glaze to go on top next time. Definitely a keeper!
