Question about base for rub

[newarcher]

Anyone ever used grape jelly as a base instead of mustard on pork?

I once saw a pro chef who put garlic slivers in a pork loin, rubbed it with grape jelly, and then put on his rub.  I only got a sliver of it off the grill but I was very impressed with what I got.

Just curious if anyone ever smoked a butt or picnic ham with grape jelly as a rub base.
