I made this particular sauce a week ago today, as a trial run...my friend had talked me into trying it...as she shared this recipe with me a year ago...I never got around to making it, but wanted something different for my guests this Thanksgiving. Let me just say it's fantastic...she makes it every year, and I will be as well from here on out. Delicious! ( I added a bit more pineapple than original recipe states and added some cinnamon. )
