Made this tonight and put it on grilled pork chops, I must say it brought pork chops to a new level. Absolutely great flavor!!!

I made this exactly as written and my entire family thought this was fantastic. I made it as a dipper for chicken fingers for NYE- which was so good….and they also ended up eating it like a salsa with chips because the flavor is incredible. It starts off tangy -sweet and punches you in the back of the throat with a nice slow burn. 5 stars. Amazing taste!!!

I made this exactly as written except I swapped the jalapeno for scotch bonnets because I like things extra spicy. It was delicious! I nightly recommend this recipe with any pepper that fits your heat expectations!
