BBQ Honey Sauce is a lovely alternative to the usual bbq sauces. Using honey gives a sweetness and produces a glorious sticky coat over most meats. It has the benefit of a joint hit of red wine and chili sauce for warmth and body. Also, I use this as a marinade to cover the meat for a few hours at least for even more flavour. Overall, this is a sauce I always offer and is very popular. Not only that, I make it a day or two in advance and keep it in the fridge.
