THREE LITTLE PIGS BBQ: Touch of Cherry BBQ Sauce – 578g

The sauce Aussie barbequers can't get enough of

Touch of Cherry BBQ Sauce is the all-time favourite from champion pitmaster Chris Marks: a sweet blend of cherry and brown sugar wrapped in smoky hickory. Highly addictive; consider yourself warned.

The flavour

Ripe cherry sweetness up front, brown sugar depth through the middle, and a smoky hickory finish that keeps it barbecue rather than dessert. Sweet, smooth and dangerously brushable.

How to cook with it

• Glaze pork ribs for a glossy cherry-mahogany finish
• Brush over chicken in the final minutes
• Lacquer a Christmas ham like a professional
• Dipping sauce for anything that came off the smoker

In the bottle

A deep cherry-red sauce, thick and glossy — built for glazing and disinclined to run off the meat. The 20.4 oz bottle empties faster than you'd think.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

They say it's the sauce Australians can't get enough of, which explains why my last shipment vanished before it cleared the shed. Cherry, brown sugar, hickory — brush it over ribs dusted with SinsQue Grunt Cherry Pork Rub for the full double-cherry heist. The rest of the Three Little Pigs stash won't last either. Toss a handful of Western Cherry Smoking Wood Chips on the coals while it glazes so the smoke matches the sauce.
