Apple Bacon BBQ Sauce

Apple Bacon BBQ Sauce brings crisp apple, smoky bacon, and a hickory finish into one rich barbecue sauce.

Brownwood Farms, the Michigan fruit maker, folds sweet apple into applewood-smoked bacon and hickory smoke for a sauce that eats rich and a little indulgent. It stays sweet without sliding into syrup, and there is real depth behind it from the bacon and the smoke. This is a bbq sauce for ribs and everything pork, the bottle you grab when you want the cook to taste like more than tomato and sugar.

Glaze ribs and pork chops in the last stretch so the sugars set, brush it over a smoked chicken, or slather it on a bacon cheeseburger straight off the grate. It leans into pork harder than most, so lean back.
