Isaac's Sweet & Sassy BBQ Sauce

In the book "Master LÙ's Spring and Autumn Annals" published in 239 BCE, Chinese Chef I Yin discussed the importance of harmoniously blending sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, and salty. Isaac’s Sweet and Sassy BBQ sauce perfectly does just that. We highly recommend using this recipe at your next barbecue served with all sorts of meats and vegetables, or as Isaac served it: on a sandwich with pulled pork that had been cooked sous vide for 75 hours.
