Marelie’s comments about this recipe:

Tangy in the culinary world basically means where a savoury ingredient meets a sweet ingredient and it does its’ magical dance! Serving this tangy BBQ sauce with a lemon-curry chicken breast will definitely transform an ordinary lunch into an exquisite sit-down meal. This sauce can be used as a drizzle over a savoury pancake, a marinade for fish or as a dip mixed into cream cheese. I have doubled this recipe and now have two bottles in my fridge on standby to give any dish a tangy strawberry-zing when needed…. Which is almost always!
