Maple Monday-Maple Chili Sauce

Spicy and sweet, this sauce makes a wonderful marinade or glaze for chicken or pork chops!

Tips:

• Before baking/grilling the meat, coat in half of the sauce. During cooking, baste once and once again after the meat is done.
• This recipe makes enough for about 4 chicken breasts or pork chops, or about 12 chicken- wings/drumsticks. You can easily double the recipe, just increase simmering time to 10 minutes.

Maple Chili Sauce


1/2 cup prepared chili sauce (I use Heinz)
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon brown mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce ( I use Frank's Red Hot Sauce)
In a medium saucepan bring all ingredients to a boil over medium heat.. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring to prevent sauce from burning.
