Alskann's Note:

This recipe is easy to make and tastes great. Amounts can be adjusted to suit individual tastes to make it more or less sweet and spicy. Black bean paste can be used in placed of the peanut butter. Goes well with chicken, pork, beef, wild game and dim sum.

Wow this was delicious! A different and unique sauce from what I'm use to making. My family loved it. I used honey and just a few dashes of hot sauce. I used it with Hoisin Chicken .and I have a little left over to make something else in a couple days. I will be making this again.

I was so thankful to have found this recipe-I ran out of store-bought and needed it for Stir-fried Zucchini With Hoisin Sauce. I used molasses and hot chili garlic sauce and it was delicious! Thank you for a great recipe!!!

I needed some hoisin sauce to make Chicken With Cranberry-Hoisin Sauce by Shelby Jo that I tagged in the *Pet Parade* event, so I decided to make my own & found your recipe. It is an ingredient-friendly, easy-fix w/an authentic flavor. I used peanut butter & Tobasco for the hot sauce. Thx for sharing your recipe. I cannot imagine buying hoisin sauce again when this is so easy & good. :-)
