This looks delicious!  I like the fact that there are real cherries.  I will be trying it for sure! 

A friend of mine makes an awesome root beer sauce that I love too. I'll try to dig up that recipe and get it on here.

Sounded really good, but you lost me at horseradish... :'(  I'd definitely have to eliminate that for a modification.  Just me, though - can't stand horseradish!  Wife loves it though...go figure!

Post the root beer sauce... I'd like to add that to my repertoire (sp?).

re: horseradish: I only like it plain on easter ham sandwiches, nothing else. I too was put off by the notion of horseradish but only after reading the recipe.... when tasting it on my ribs I had no idea it was in there. That said, I may just go with plain dijon mustard (w/o horseradish) and see if that changes anything.

Hmmm.  May have to re-think the horseradish, Steve!  If it's masked, but adds to the flavor profile, I might give it a shot!  Thanks!

Seriously I appreciate any feedback.

That said the mustard Dijon with horseradish... That really buries it deep in the flavor profile as you say. 

This recipe is idiot proof. Really is a hit.
