About

The fruity taste of hoisin sauce and the sharp-earthy flavor of garlic wed perfectly in this sauce. It is rich and spicy, and a real kitchen favorite. Minus the garlic, the sauce can be refrigerated indefinitely. We always keep the garlic-less mixture on hand, then add the garlic only as needed.

Ingredients
