The grits are fantastic, especially if you love blue cheese. Creamy and perfect on a winter night. The glaze was dominated by the mustard and red pepper, and lives up to its "spicy" name, but I would definitely use double the apple butter and half the mustard next time. I also think, since both components of the dish are so strong flavored, I would serve them separately next time.
