Zesty Barbecue Sauce

Add a luscious touch to all your barbecue favourites: during the last few minutes of cooking, brush this sauce over chops, burgers, ribs, poultry or fish. Use 1 cup (250 mL) sauce for every 4 servings (1 lb/500 g boneless or 1-1/2 lb/750 g bone-in meat or poultry, or 1 lb/500 g fish).
