Sugar and Spice Sweet Sauce<br />

My product is a sweet and savory dipping sauce that is low in sodium and gluten free. I did<br />

not create the original recipe. A friend of mine was friends with pub owner James<br />

Hill in Rochester, NY, who served the sauce on the chicken wings he sold at his<br />

not let the recipe die as well. Something this delicious and unique deserved to be brought to the public. I<br />

sauce revealed itself to me.<br />
