Full of Rich Cherry Flavor
This cherry barbecue sauce balances ripe cherry sweetness with tangy cider vinegar, molasses, tomato, and a touch of natural smoke. The texture is intentionally thick, so it clings beautifully to chicken, ribs, pork, burgers—anything headed for the grill or oven.
Balanced, Not Overpowering
Each spoonful starts with bright cherry notes, then unfolds into tomato richness, subtle smoke, and a smooth molasses finish. It’s a crowd-pleasing profile that complements meat without masking it.
Versatile at the Grill and Table
Brush on during the last minutes of grilling, use as a finishing glaze, or serve as a dipping sauce. It’s also great whisked with a splash of apple cider or cherry juice for a thinner mop sauce.

FAQ
Q: How thick is the Cherry BBQ Sauce?
A: It’s intentionally thick so it coats meat and caramelizes nicely on the grill. If you prefer a lighter mop, whisk with a splash of apple cider or water to reach your ideal brushing consistency without losing cherry depth.
