  1. The only change I made was to substitute maple syrup for the sugar.
    This recipe is simple and delicious. We are going to serve it in The Lodge at Pine Cove dining room next.

  2. Great Recipe. I barbequed the pork and made the sauce with a tsp of butter in the pan and added some rosemary. It was a hit.
