Apply this sauce generously to meats like pork ribs, chicken, or beef during the last 15-20 minutes of grilling or baking. It can also be used as a flavorful marinade; allow meats to soak in the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours for deeper flavor penetration.

It also adds a delightful zing when mixed into pulled pork or used as a spread on sandwiches.
