Apple butter on ribs

[floaty]

Has anybody on here applied apple butter to the ribs as a glaze?  I hear that you put it on during the last hour of cooking and that it gives the ribs a nice sweet that blends well with the spice of the rub. 
If anyone has tried this...let me know what you think.
Thanks

Hi Floaty,
Apple butter has great sugar and spices in it that should go great with pork.
But it is technically a cooked down apple sauce.
What might work too would be the same spices and sugar added to a cooked down apple cider or juice, maybe even thawed frozen concentrate.
Similar flavor without the apple pulp that's in apple butter.

That gets me thinking. I have not even seen Apple Butter in California. It was a main staple in Indiana when I lived there. It would probably make a tasty glaze if not burned due to the sugar.

Smokin Soon,
I've seen in the jam and jelly aisle at the store.

Another thought in the jam/jelly/glaze vein is one glaze I have made is brandy mixed with either apricot jam or marmalade which I have used on roasted ducks.
I wonder if that would work on pork???  Maybe too sweet but thought I'd put it out there.
