    My Note: I 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.
  3. 3
    I like it a little spicy, so I added some sweet hot Asian pepper sauce to it. Finger licking goodness.
