Product Info - Rock'n Red

NEW!!

Story
Over the last couple of years, BBQ Brian and House of Q have been asked for a simple sauce, one that is general in use but yet still “clean” for ingredients making sure everything is read-able. Our fans have asked for something that’s not spicy like Sugar and Spice and not smoky like Apple Butter BBQ Sauce. With a lot of research and playing in the kitchen, Rock’n Red is the first tomato based bbq sauce for House of Q.

Description
The fourth sauce in the House of Q line-up, new for 2012, is a traditional style bbq sauce that has a tomato and vinegar base. For those who know their bbq sauces, this is a Carolina red-style bbq sauce. It’s tangy, zingy and a delicate balance of sweet and just the tiniest touch of heat.

Common Applications
The sauce is completely awesome on anything beef out of the gate especially steaks and can be used on pork, chicken, burgers, sausages and pretty much anything you want a straight forward bbq sauce to add flavour.

Other Uses
Add to melted butter to baste roasts and smoked brisket.

Product Info - Apple Butter

Story
Apple Butter started at home with 40 pounds of apples being peeled, cored then simmered with molasses, brown sugar, cinnamon and rum as some of the ingredients. It was pressure canned like mom taught us to do and then used at bbq competitions. It must have been good since we got awards whenever we used it.

Description
Apple Butter BBQ Sauce is a sweet, thick, smoky bbq sauce that has an aroma of apples, cinnamon and molasses. Its flavour is balanced between tangy bite and spice with a smooth apple sauce-like texture.

Common Applications
Glazing grilled chicken pieces, pork ribs, chops or tenderloin. Awesome condiment on anything grilled or wanting a rich bbq sauce flavour.

Other Uses
Simmered in sautéed onions or used in hand-made burgers or meatloaf.

Awards
Best BBQ Sauce - BBQ on the Bow - Calgary, Alberta - 2007 and 2010
Third Place - National BBQ Festival Best of the Best - Douglas, Georgia, USA - 2008

Product Info - Slow Smoke Gold Sauce and Slather

Story
Slow Smoke Gold was created as our competition slather – the coating of flavour put on a raw piece of meat before the spice rub is shaken on. It is very tasty and has since become a fan favourite.

Description
Slow Smoke Gold is a mustard based bbq sauce that is zingy and tangy at first from the mustard and vinegar. It then provides a hint of heat with pepper and cayenne notes.

Common Applications
The sauce is great as a dipping sauce on simply anything that wants mustard but can be used as a glaze on salmon or pork ribs.

Other Uses
Outstanding in vegetable dips, potato salad or devilled eggs.

Awards
Fifth Place - National BBQ Festival Best of the Best - Douglas, Gerogia, USA - 2008

Product Info - Sugar and Spice

Story
Sugar & Spice BBQ Sauce is the creation of our version for food-lovers of a spicy bbq sauce. It started by taking a lesson from tasting wine in that there can be separate flavours within one sip… the separation of sweet and the heat from spice was achieved in this bbq sauce.

Description
Sugar & Spice has a sweet aroma that comes across in the first bite but is really deceiving. Once the mouth takes on the sweetness it changes to sensing the spiciness from the cayenne and pepper. On a scale of 1 to 10, the spice level of this product would be a 6.

Common Applications
The sauce is great as a dipping sauce for burgers, sausages, steaks and is a fantastic glaze for chicken.

Other Uses
Simmered with fresh cranberries to create a bbq chutney.

Product Info - House Rub

Story
Every competition bbq-er uses spice rubs to add flavour to their meat. The House of Q House Rub was designed to be fantastic right out of the jar on chicken and pork but it can also be used as a base rub for someone to create their own unique spice by adding a few of their own ingredients.

Description
House Rub is a balanced rub that is equally sweet, salty and fragrant from the onion, garlic and other spices.

Common Applications
Sprinkle House Rub on chicken, ribs, pork chops or loin before grilling or smoking.

Other Uses
Sprinkled on popcorn, hash browns, mashed potatoes or even to add spice to candied beer nuts.
