I did alter this recipe quite a bit. I used 1/2 red cabbage and 1/2 julienned collard greens. Also, instead of green onions I used a small yellow onion and I omitted the red pepper simply because I did not have any on hand. I added a dash of sesame oil, about 2 tbls hoisin sauce and some garlic powder. Came out very good. I suggest letting it sit in the fridge overnight before eating. Also, I followed another reviewer's advice and sweated out the red cabbage with salt.

This could be 5 stars, but I needed to doctor the sauce a bit. I added 1/4 cup of half n half and some black pepper (white would work too) to the sauce. The black pepper went in while the apples were sauteing and the half n half went in after the cheese started to melt. Served this with collard greens and focaccia bread. great to sop up the sauce w/ the bread.

We did a full wood smoke of a whole chicken and used this marinade. I would not recommend this recipe for a slow smoke, because the sugar in the recipe will make the smoke cling too much causing a slightly acrid flavor to the skin of the chicken
