Balsamic BBQ Sauce

This simple BBQ Sauce will play wonderful games with your mouth. The full bodied sourness of the balsamic vinegar will be perfectly counterbalanced by the sweetness of the apricot jam and the savory kick of the garlic. It's great for grilling chicken or ribs, as a dip for chicken tenders, or mingled with shredded chicken.
