Introduction

One of my daughter's favorites, I only make this a few times a year as a favor to her and the sorors. I recommend using Southern Comfort for the liquor. It has a smoother, sweeter, more mellow flavor and blends well with the brown sugar. This is also good on the grill when smoked pecan or hickory chips are used. Creole style, tastes better than the Asian restaurant version. This has bourbon, their's doesn't! ;-).
