    Woo hoo!    This is a mop that I sort of threw together out of things here at home, mixing what I happenned to have.

1 cup Plum Jelly

1/2 cup Apple Cider Vineger

1 teaspoon minced Garlic

1 Tablespoon minced jalapenio

    Put everything into a pot and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent parts from burning or carmelizing.

    I used this on a mop for a pork roast (and some pork loin) in my smoker.   The smoker runs a little over 200 degree's and was smoking with Whisky Barrel Oak.    The mop formed a beautiful golden brown glaze all over the boneless pork shoulder and the Pork Loin that I used it on.    The amount here was JUST enough to glaze the pork with none left to make a sauce out of.   Next time I'll double the amount made so I can render what remains into a sauce for the pork.

That sounds like a great combination! Sweet and savory, with heat and a bit of tartness from the vinegar.

Bet this would work well with chicken too.

Pity you didn't have enough for a sauce - drizzling just a bit of that (reduced and thickened) over the sliced pork would have been stellar!

YUM!

I'm actually going to make a bit more as a sauce the day before Thanksgiving. :)
