Very good, but next time I will try only using half the brown sugar and adding more if I need it. Using a full cup over powered the coconut taste.

This sauce is really good. I actually served it with chicken breaded in pecan meal and it was delicious. Really sweet, so a little goes a long way. Will make again!!

This is a good start but it is way too sweet. I will use half the sugar next time and may even go to a white sugar. I think half the brown sugar would be fine but it also turns the sauce brown which is a little strange for coconut sauce. If that does not taste good I will go back to the brown. All of the sweetness takes away from the coconut flavor.
