This sweet barbecue sauce can be applied directly from the bottle. For grilling, brush it onto meats during the last few minutes of cooking to allow it to caramelize without burning.

For sandwiches, a generous spread adds moisture and taste. It is also excellent stirred into baked beans or used as a topping for roasted vegetables.
