Ole Ray's Red Delicious Apple Bourbon Barbecue and Cooking Sauce – 12 oz

Apple-forward barbecue and cooking sauce with bourbon depth and mild spice

Ole Ray’s Red Delicious Apple Bourbon Barbecue and Cooking Sauce blends sweet apple flavor with smooth bourbon and a mild tomato base. It is built for cooks who want rich flavor without heat taking over the dish.

Apple jelly and tomato purée lead the profile, delivering a rounded sweetness that feels familiar and balanced. Dark brown sugar and white sugar deepen the body, while apple cider vinegar and lemon juice keep the sauce bright and controlled. Bourbon adds warmth and depth without sharp alcohol bite.

The spice stays mild. Black pepper and hot chili pepper sauce provide background warmth, not heat. Liquid smoke, garlic, onion, and mustard round out the finish, making this sauce easy to use as both a barbecue sauce and a cooking ingredient.

This sauce works well on pork, chicken, ribs, burgers, and baked dishes. It is also designed for glazing, slow cooking, and pan finishes where sweetness and depth matter more than spice.

Ole Ray’s Red Delicious Apple Bourbon Barbecue and Cooking Sauce is made for everyday cooking with a classic flavor profile that stays approachable.
