*This Sauce is Great on Mashed Potatoes: You'll get especially good juices for making a sauce/gravy if you line the bottom of the roasting pan with thick slices of onion and pour a bit of the marinade over the onions before placing the rack in the pan. Strain the remaining marinade and boil to reduce by about 1/3. Add chicken or beef broth to the reduction to soften the flavor. Add the juices from the pan after roasting. Thicken with arrowroot or cornstarch.
