Catalina needs a warning label...
A few decades ago Wish-Bone and Kraft got in a TV sponsorship competition in which they invented salad dressings and filled the grocery stores with them. One of these was a version of French dressing that was extra sweet, and had a little mustard taste in the background. It was so rich a spoonful on a salad would fill you up. It also had a strong vinegar content, which makes it a great tenderizing marinade. So a lot of us, people who grill, have made our own versions of the stuff because its good for lots of things as long as they aren't salad. It is the basis for lots of finishing sauces (like my apricot version), but it won't baste without burning black from the sugar in it.
