Wow! This sounds like something I had in Arizona a few years back. What an incredible combination of ingredients. I can't wait to try this!


Tequila and Honey. The folks that make jagermeister also make a honey liquor, called, appropriately enough, Barenjager. Tasty. Ima try this one, well, shucks, maybe I'll try a bottle of tequila tonight and think about the honey.


This is a great sounding sauce. I love the flavors going on. Great post... Jim


What would you think about Habeneros, properly "tammed down"? I would think the "fruity overtones" go great with the orange and honey.


Habaneros, I hear they're hott. Sounds astounding. Shucks, with a hot pepper a boy could play all day, slip into the eve, and just float away. Haughty cuisine, with a simple crisp. Luv it.
