SUBSTITUTIONS:
  • You can substitute any hot sauce for the sriracha, but sriracha is the best. 
  • Substitute raw sugar for granulated if need be. 
  • Leave off the cayenne if you are concerned about heat. 
PRO TIP:
Make this the day before you plan to use it, then stir well before serving.  This allows the flavors to marry and it is SO DELICIOUS!
