I used this recipe exactly as described and it was wonderful. My kids loved it. The flavor is sweet and slightly spicy. If you don't like your sauce sweet then you probably can cut down on the brown sugar. For a party, I baked a rack of baby back ribs in this sauce, simmered the rest of it, and used it to baste on the bbq. It was a hit.

Love this sauce. Cut back to 1 cup of brown sugar as recommended by other users. My niece gets this sauce all over her face from trying to get all the sauce off the bone! I boil the ribs for 1 1/2 hours, sauce the ribs, then throw them into the oven, I baste after 5 mins on one side, throw 'em back in, turn them over, baste on the other side and then throw them back in for another 5 mins.

I made a few changes to this based on some of the past reviews. I made this using only about 4 tbsps of brown sugar. I used vinegar instead of lemon juice. I served this with italian sausage and brocolli stir fry with a side of white rice. My family loved this. I will be making this again.

As a Canadian living in the south of the USA, I must say that this is a VERY good sauce,eh! I fried some chicken, then poured the sauce over the chicken and baked it. I will use this sauce very often. It is sooooooo very tasty!!!! Thanks for the posting of the recipe.

AFTER READING ALL THE REVIEWS I COULD'NT WAIT TO TRY THIS SAUCE. WHAT A TOTAL DISAPOINTMENT. I CUT BACK THE BROWN SUGAR TO 1 CUP AND IT WAS STILL WAY TOO SWEET. DIDN'T TASTE ANYTHING LIKE A BBQ SAUCE. SORRY TO SAY I WONT BE USING THIS AGAIN. I GAVE IT 2 STARS BECAUSE THE APPLE SAUCE GAVE IT SOME BODY AND TEXTURE.

A tad bit too sweet for our tastes... Will cut back on the brown sugar next time. But there will be a next time, because it was a great tasting sauce.

Made this again with the ribs and this time we felt they were a little too sweet. After reading the reviews about how sweat it was I cut back the brown sugar to 1 1/2 cups. Mixed everything together in bowl. Cut up ribs into two's, boiled baby back ribs (3 racks) for about 30 mins. Tossed sauce with the ribs in a roasting pan. Cooked for 1 hour with the lid on at 350 degrees. Took lid off and cooked for another 45 mins. at 325 degrees until carmelized. These were the best ribs I think I have ever had. We all can't wait to have them again. I only use pork baby back ribs because they are leaner. Can't wait to try the sauce on chicken also!! Thanks Wendy for a great sauce!! Update Sept.20/08-Made this again, haven't for a long time and now we find it way too sweet. I have been using Presidents Choice Smokin Stampede Chipotole for the last year and it's the best. I even cut the brown sugar in half again, sooo sweet, sorry not for us. Michele, Cambridge, Ontario Thanks Wendy
