I have never tried any of the Saucy Susan sauces, but I recently read a few threads on some forums about people who either loved it or hated it. Since I like to keep a sweet sauce on hand as a dip, I don't mind buying a jar to test it out, but I am intrigued by some of the uses people apparently had for it. I guess it was a big deal back in the 70s? I never heard of it before.
Anyway, one person mentioned adding it to shrimp and linguine - I guess it was like a sweet & sour lo mein type thing? I wonder if there was anything more to the recipe.
Others said they used it to glaze chicken or ham.
If anyone has used this product before and has any recipes (even if they are just vague versions), I would love to hear about them.

Re: Weird recipe request - using Saucy Susan
I picked up a bottle of it when it was on sale recently. It looks like duck sauce. I make a lot of Asian dishes, so having a spare dipping sauce handy is fine. I doubt it is going to taste as authentic as some of the other sauces I usually buy, but that is OK. I was curious to find out what the fuss was about. Haven't tried it out yet.
Re: Weird recipe request - using Saucy Susan
I did find this:
BATTERED CHICKEN
2 lbs. boneless chicken breasts in 2-inch pieces
3/8 c. milk
3/8 c. chicken broth
1 c. Bisquick
1 lg. egg, beaten
Pepper
Garlic powder
Saucy Susan
Mix Bisquick with milk and broth. Mix thoroughly and add egg mixture. Should be a very thick pancake batter consistency. Add pepper and garlic to taste. Add more liquid if the batter is too thick. Add pieces of chicken to coat.
Fry in 1-inch cooking oil several pieces at a time. Fry until lightly browned and drain on paper towel. Place on very shallow cookie sheet sprayed with Pam and brush with Saucy Susan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
For an appetizer cut the breasts into small pieces and cook as suggested. They can be frozen on a cookie sheet and then placed in a plastic bag for storage. When needed, place on a shallow cookie sheet, brush with Saucy Susan and bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees.
