Purchased the Taste of Home Grill It cookbook and this was one of the recipes I've tried. Made a double batch with fresh bing cherries. The only change made was adding a little kick of heat with an Italian red pepper. EXCELLENT on BBQ whole chicken breast. Will be making an another double batch and canning for future use.

Amazing flavor! So good on chicken or ribs. This is going to be one of my all time favorite recipes!

Absolutely incredible. I like it a little spicy, so i added some sweet hot Asian pepper sauce to it. Finger licking goodness.
