I often use this on chicken. (Although, I don't strain it & use to baste as it would have to be cooked first . . . too much work & the flavor is great anyway.) DH usually grills it & we love it that way!
Actually, I've never tried it on "the other white meat" but am always looking for different ways to make pork. Has anyone used it for pork?
Margie, I hadn't gotten those rice recipes yet. Thanks for posting - I can't wait to try them!

Molokai Gram, who posts on the Universal boards, lives in Hawaii. Maybe she'd share some of her recipes if you PM her.
