Instructions

Marinade

Place all marinade ingredients into a bowl. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour 1¼ cup over whatever meat you're marinating. To use as a dipping sauce, boil for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly. To store for more than a day or two, boil about 2 minutes, pour into an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator for up-to a month.

BBQ Glaze

Pour BBQ Glaze ingredients into a small saucepan set over medium heat. Simmer until it thickens into a thin gravy consistency. Stir often to prevent sugar from burning. Make 1¼ cup BBQ glaze that can be refrigerated for up-to one month in an airtight container.
