"We did not care for this recipe. I love Emeril and love almost all his recipes, but not this one. As someone who grew up having good bbq, the sauce was bitter--it needed more sweetness which is surprising because it is ketchup based with the addition of pure cane syrup. Therefore, I am quite surprised by all the rave reviews which is what prompted"

"This is FANTASTIC and EASY!!! I used four leftover medium apples--of a variety my husband wanted to try for snacking but didn;t care for the texture--and it came to four cups.

"Momonthego, I wanted to thank you for posting this recipe! For the idea, I give you 5 stars, but I can't rate your recipe because I made some changes.
