3.8

(17)

This sweet and tangy sauce is perfect for glazing grilled meats, seafood, and veggies. It was designed for our Grilled Shrimp and Grilled Corn recipes, as part of our Gourmet Modern Menu for A Fourth of July Cookout.

Cooks' notes:

•Sauce can be made 3 days ahead and refrigerated once cooled. Reheat before proceeding.
•If making the shrimp and the corn, double the recipe for the sauce and cook it until it is reduced to 2 1/2 cups.
