Reveiw: Blues Hog BBQ Sauce

I firmly believe that most BBQ sauce should only be used as a condiment.  And mostly that's the result of all the poor samples that line the shelves in the grocery stores.  Now over the years reading BBQ forums across the interwebs, a few names keep coming up regularly and come highly recommended. 

One of these is Blues Hog BBQ Sauce .  I really don't have a good excuse for not trying it sooner as it's made fairly close to my home in St. Louis, MO.  So recently I determined to give it a try and made a trip to a local BBQ shop that I knew carried the product.

Today, I got the opportunity to crack open the jar and give it a test drive.  Wow!  I was really surprised at how good it is.  In fact, I couldn't keep my fingers out of it.  It is a sweet sauce, but it has a little bite to it that lingers on the palette.  The sweetness doesn't remind of honey or sugar, instead I'm reminded of berries or currants.  I basted a pork tenderloin and a couple of chicken breasts with it and this stuff rocks!  I think I actually preferred it on the chicken.

I'll definitely use this on ribs the next time I cook them.  In the mean time, I'd highly recommend the sauce. 

Cheers,
