Red Duck Smoked Applewood Molasses Organic BBQ Sauce — 17 oz Kansas City–Style, Low-Sugar, Gluten-Free

Red Duck Smoked Applewood Molasses Organic BBQ Sauce is a Kansas City–style, 17 oz bottle of organic, molasses-forward sauce with applewood-smoked salt for a rich, slightly smoky glaze.

This sauce blends farm-fresh organic tomatoes with molasses, orange peel, thyme and applewood-smoked salt to create a deep, layered flavor inspired by classic Kansas City barbecue. Crafted without high-fructose corn syrup, artificial preservatives, dairy, grains or gluten, it’s designed to deliver bold taste while keeping ingredients simple and clean. The texture is glossy and pourable, making it easy to brush, baste or serve straight from the bottle.

How does this sauce perform on ribs and other grill favorites?

It caramelizes nicely over direct heat, building a lacquered, slightly sweet crust typical of Kansas City–style barbecue. The molasses provides a sticky sheen while applewood-smoked salt adds a subtle smoke note without needing a smoker.

• Great as a finishing glaze for pork ribs and chicken
• Brush on during the last 5–10 minutes of grilling for best caramelization
• Works as a marinade for 30 minutes to a few hours for deeper flavor
• Low sugar formulation reduces excessive flare-ups on open flames

How can I use this sauce beyond grilling?

• Stir into baked beans or roasted vegetables for added depth
