An update...the sauce was great with the turkey and everybody loved it. OK, there is alot left over and this is what is killer with this sauce; PINK MAYONNAISE. I decided to mix some of this sauce with the mayo for the turkey sands.....OMG. This is better than the real thing.

This is absolutely delicious!!! The only problem is that it is VERY LIQUIDY which kept many of my guest from trying it at first. But, once they did it was a treat. This makes for ALOT of sauce so you may want to make it with back up recipes in mind to use in other recipes.

I made this sauce and the Winter Fruit Chutney in advance for Thanksgiving Day. Here are my alterations to the dipping sauce:
1. Doubled the sugar & maple syrup qty
2. Added 2-3 oz dark rum
3. Added 1 tablespoons vanilla
4. Added 1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
5. Added 1 tablespoons honey
6. Used 2 cups fresh squeezed OJ, about 1/2 a cup was pulp which thickened the sauce nicely
7. Used 1 pound of fresh cranberries
8. Pureed in blended
The sauce tasted deliciously tart, sweet (not sugury, and slightly spicy. I hope it taste even better on Thanksgiving Day. I plan to serve in ramekins decorated with lemon zest.
Note: I made my dipping sauce yesterday for Thanksgiving in 2 days. I would want to see how it taste on Thanksgiving Day before giving the sauce 5 stars.
I trust Brown's receipts. I used his recipe/method to cook my turkey last year. The turkey was moist & flavorful taking much less time to cook.
I hope this helps! Happy Feasting all!
