Notes
- Make sure you buy pitted dates. They will blend into the sauce as they cook.
- Use any bourbon or whisky that you like or have on hand. You can substitute for ginger beer or ginger ale if you don't consume alcohol.
- Yellow mustard is the regular mustard that you would put on a hotdog. It adds a mild tang to the sauce and balances the sweetness. You can substitute it with Dijon.
