Grilling Sauce (for lack of a better name)

1 16oz can of Pineapple with juice
1 cup Brown sugar
1/2 cup Rum
1/2 tsp Dry mustard
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Hot sauce (Texas Pete, Tabasco, etc.) or more to taste
1/4 tsp Ground ginger
1 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp Corn Starch

Blend all ingredients well. Pour into microwave safe pot and heat on high for 1 minute and stir. Repeat heating and stirring untill well thickened. IMHO it tastes nasty until the alcohol has boiled off, so don't dispair.

This mess worked great on pork spare ribs yesterday. Next time I will try in on a pork loin roast.

You Are an Excellent Cook

You're a top cook, but you weren't born that way. It's taken a lot of practice, a lot of experimenting, and a lot of learning.
It's likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire...
