Get Your Grill On

I jumped at the chance to review this product. I enjoy smoking with fruit woods and love many fruit flavor-based rubs, so a fruit-based BBQ sauce seemed like a good idea.

When the sauce arrived and I had a chance to read the ingredients, I was curious to say the least. “Pickled Strawberries” were listed as the main ingredient and upon learning this, I started to have a little trepidation.

The sauce was so thick I couldn’t get it out of the bottle. It was similar to trying to get the first bit of catsup or mustard out of those little bottles. I had to use a butter knife to scrape it out.

The smell was not like any other sauce I’ve ever tried. The initial taste test was shocking to say the least. It was terrible. Knowing that some sauces just don’t taste good out of the bottle, I grilled up a couple of pork chops and chicken thighs to try it with food.

Folks, don’t buy this stuff. It was, without a doubt, the worst bbq product I have ever used. I’ve eaten many things in my life and it is a rare occasion that I can’t swallow what I cook. I had to spit the piece of pork chop out. Thinking it was just my taste buds, I asked my wife to try it. She had the same end result.

If it wasn’t listed on their website at www.tassleberryfarms.com, I would have thought someone was playing a practical joke on me. It was that bad. If you’ve read my reviews in the past, you know I always try to find something positive to say. I can’t find anything positive about this product.
