PS Seasoning Cherry Bomb Cherry BBQ Sauce — Door County cherry glaze with chipotle & molasses, thick sweet-smoky marinade (12 oz)

This handcrafted sauce blends real cherry pieces with brown sugar, chipotle, molasses, and natural smoke flavor to create a balanced sweet-smoky profile that brightens grilled and oven-cooked dishes. Thick and rich in texture, Cherry Bomb works before, during, or after cooking — brush it on as a glaze, toss it with roasted vegetables, or serve it alongside burgers and skewers. The recipe uses 100% natural cherries alongside pantry staples to deliver a distinctive Door County fruit note without overwhelming savory flavors.

How does Cherry Bomb change the flavor of everyday meals?

Cherry Bomb adds a fruity lift and subtle heat that complements both sweet and savory ingredients. The fruitiness from real cherry bits pairs with brown sugar and a touch of chipotle to create layers of flavor that caramelize nicely on heat.

• Real cherry pieces provide natural sweetness and texture.
• Molasses and brown sugar deepen caramelization during grilling.
• Chipotle adds mild smokiness and a warm finish.
• Vinegar balances sweetness to prevent cloying taste.

When and how should I use this as a marinade, glaze, or dip?

Use Cherry Bomb as a marinade by coating proteins and refrigerating for 1–4 hours for surface flavor; avoid long-term acidic marination on delicate fish. For glazing, brush the sauce on in the last 10–15 minutes of cooking to allow the sugars to caramelize without burning. As a dip, serve room temperature or slightly warmed to highlight the cherry aroma.

• Marinate pork chops or chicken for up to 4 hours for pronounced flavor.
• Glaze ribs or tenderloin in the final cook stage to build a shiny crust.
• Serve as a dipping sauce for fried appetizers or grilled cheeses.
• Warm briefly to thin sauce for brushing or drizzling.

What foods pair best with Door County cherry barbecue sauce?

Cherry Bomb is versatile: it elevates fatty proteins, complements smoky char, and brightens roasted vegetables. It works particularly well with pork, beef, and salmon where its sweet-tart cherry character contrasts rich textures and enhances caramelized edges.

• Pork ribs, chops, and tenderloin for classic sweet-savory balance.
• Grilled or baked salmon for a fruity glaze that stands up to oiliness.
• Burgers and pulled pork to introduce a fruity twist.
• Roasted root vegetables or glazed Brussels sprouts as a vegetarian option.
