Yummy, easy and a great sauce.

This was delicious. It had a nice blend of sweet and spicy and the lemon gave it great flavor. I also added some green pepper and I didn't have the worcestershire sauce so I left it out and used honey mustard instead of using honey and mustard. I also used cayenne pepper instead of hot sauce and it worked out great. We really enjoyed this and the sauce was so good it would go great with lots of other dishes.

Wanted to try a recipe that did not have jelly in it as I will be serving diabetics over xmas...so I thought this one fit the bill, I used low carb ketchup, sugar free honey & splenda...they turned out superb....
