HARDCORE CARNIVORE: Burnt Ends Sauce - 454g

The fast track to meat candy

Hardcore Carnivore Burnt Ends Sauce is built for one glorious job — turning humble cubes of pork belly or brisket into sweet, sticky, buttery meat candy. It's rich with molasses and smoke, with a gentle jalapeño warmth on the finish. One jar has everything you need to make the best burnt ends you've ever put in your mouth.

The flavour

Deep inverted-sugar and molasses sweetness leads, layered with natural smoke and a buttery richness, then a gentle chilli-jalapeño warmth rounds out the finish. Thick, glossy and made to caramelise into lacquer.

How to cook with it

• Toss cubed pork belly or brisket point in the sauce, then give them a second cook until the edges caramelise into sticky candy.
• Warm the jar first, then brush it onto ribs in the last 15–20 minutes so it glazes instead of burning.
• Sticky-glaze wings or drumsticks over the coals for a sweet, smoky lacquer.
• Mop it over a double-smoked ham for a glossy, festive finish.
• Rogue move: spoon a little over a cheeseburger or through a tray of pit beans.

In the jar

A thick, deep-red glazing sauce that clings to the meat and caramelises into a sticky, glossy candy. Sweet and buttery up front with just a mild warmth behind it.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Meat candy in a jar — I toss pork belly cubes in this and they're gone before they reach the table. Cube the belly, season it hard, and give it that second cook until the edges lacquer up. Build the base with Butchers Axe Big Bark rub, then finish the sticky cubes with a spoon of Blend BLING Chilli Oil Crunch for a crunchy bite against all that sweet.
