Chipotle Cacao Grilling Glaze

I recently got a delivery from Mountain Rose Herbs (http://www.mountainroseherbs.com), including one of their catalogs.  While browsing through the catalog while drinking my morning coffee, I came across this recipe, which looks delicious!  I haven't tried it yet, since I'm not eating meat, but it looked so good I wanted to share it with you.  (Hmm, I'll bet it would work on non-meat protein, such as tempeh, too!)  EnJOY!


Chipotle Cacao Grilling Glaze

Ingredients:
3/4 cup organic brown sugar
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup organic rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup organic tomato paste
1/4 cup organic orange juice
2 Tablespoons organic cacao powder
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon Smoked sea salt
1/8 teaspoon organic chipotle chile powder
1/8 teaspoon organic cinnamon powder

Simmer the sugar and water together until completely dissolved.
Add the other ingredients and gently simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes.
Use  a basting brush to paint the sauce on your grilled protein of choice.
This is a flavorful glaze so one or two layers will do.
Throw the glazed protein back on the grill over  high heat until it caramelizes nicely, but be careful not to let the sauce burn.
Remove from the grill and dig in!
