Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: None | Total Time: 5 minutes | Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 cups your favorite prepared BBQ sauce
- 1 jar (10 oz) Mrs. Ruth’s Chipotle Blackberry Jam
Directions
- Whisk BBQ sauce and Chipotle Blackberry Jam together in a bowl. Start with half the jar (about 5 oz) and add more to taste — the more jam, the fruitier and smokier the sauce.
- Taste and adjust to your preference. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
- Brush generously over your protein of choice during the last few minutes of grilling, or use as a dipping sauce on the side.
Tips & Notes
- Best on: Pork ribs, chicken thighs, grilled shrimp, pulled pork, or pork chops.
- Start with half the jar: The chipotle heat builds — start with 5 oz, taste, and add more until you hit your perfect balance of smoky, fruity, and spicy.
- Apply at the end: Brush the sauce on during the last 5–10 minutes of grilling to get a beautiful caramelized glaze without burning.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before using.
- Mix it up: Try with Simply Blackberry Jam for a milder version, or Kickin’ Pepper Jam for an extra kick.
