What it is

American Stockyard Harvest Apple BBQ Sauce is a sweet-tart apple BBQ sauce bringing together Washington apples, raw cane sugar, molasses, tomato, apple cider vinegar and mild chillies. American Stockyard is part of Spicin Foods, based in Kansas City, who have been making sauces in small batches for over 20 years. The sauce has a smooth, rich consistency with a clearly noticeable apple flavour balanced by gentle warmth, tomato and a vinegary acidity. On the producer’s own scale it sits at a very mild 1/5 heat, so it works well for those who prefer their BBQ sauce without much kick. American Stockyard Harvest Apple BBQ Sauce pairs particularly well with pork, pulled pork, ribs, chicken and turkey, but it also works on burgers, grilled vegetables and as a dipping sauce. Use it as a glaze in the final stages of grilling or smoking, as a sauce inside a wrap or burger, or serve it alongside low and slow pork. According to the producer, the sauce is gluten-free.

GRILLY comments

Our first move would be to put this on pulled pork and ribs, because apple and pork simply get along very well. The flavour is sweet and fruity, but the apple cider vinegar keeps things fresh enough that the sauce never tips into cloying. If you want a mild BBQ sauce for chicken or pork that kids and heat-shy guests will happily eat, this is a pretty safe bet.
