What foods and recipes benefit most from applewood liquid smoke?

Applewood imparts a mildly sweet, fruity smoke character that pairs especially well with pork, chicken, seafood, vegetables, and barbecue sauces.

How should I store and measure this liquid smoke to preserve flavor?

Keep the container tightly closed and stored in a cool, dark place away from direct heat to maintain best quality. Because concentrated, precise measuring prevents overpowering dishes, use teaspoons for home cooking and portioning tools or a pump for commercial service. Check the cap and closure for secure sealing after each use.

• Store at room temperature, away from sunlight and heat sources.
