Candied jalapeno bbq sauce brings the sweet and spicy flavour of candied jalapenos to barbecue food, with a kick intended to spice up the BBQ. Both sides of that flavour remain central to the sauce, so its character is not reduced to heat alone.

The sauce can take a different role with each dish, rather than being limited to one way of serving. Use it to marinate ribs, slather it into pulled pork, or spread it over brisket and chicken wings, applying the sauce in the way that suits each part of the barbecue.

It can also be spread over BBQ vegetables, giving the sauce a place beyond meat dishes and across a more varied barbecue menu. That breadth makes it a fitting present for a keen barbecue cook, or a useful addition for a host who regularly serves both meat and vegetables at a barbecue.
