Tasting Notes from Ardie Davis
- My favorite sauce from the Meadow Creek line of sauces
- Kudos for using real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. Real sugar sweetness naturally costs more than high fructose corn syrup, but the quality and health benefits are worth the price.
- Although Iβm generally not a big fan of sweet barbecue sauces, Meadow Creek Original, Apple and Hickory are easy choices when Iβm craving a sweet complement to my barbecue.
- Pairing preference 1: βMake Your Dayβ β Zesty Rub with Original, Apple or Hickory Sauce on any barbecue meat. This is my favorite combo.
- Pairing preference 2: βNaughty & Niceβ β Spicy Rub with Original, Apple or Hickory Sauce on any pork or poultry barbecue.
