but not burned, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the
seasoning mix and cook about 1 minute. Add the stock, chili sauce, honey,
pecans, orange juice, lemon juice, orange and lemon rinds and pulp, garlic,
and Tobasco, stirring well. Reduce heat to low; continue cooking about 10
minutes, stirring frequently. Remove orange and lemon rinds. Continue
cooking and stirring about 15 minutes more to let the flavors marry. Add
the butter and stir until melted. Remove from heat. Let cool about 30

be used to barbecue chicken, pork or ribs. Makes about 5 Cups. From Paul
