Jack Daniel’s Smokey Sweet Barbecue Glaze

The summer may not have been too hot and our bbq is still under cover most of the time, but when Jack Daniels' sent me their new Smokey Sweet Barbecue glaze we decided that the weather outdoors would not stop us getting a taste of summer indoors.

I had no ribs or chicken to hand but a need to try the glaze out soon as I'd opened it to have a sniff, the ingredients all sound so tempting too. There is pineapple, orange molasses among others and of course the star  Jack Daniel's whiskey. It smells sweet and warm and I decided to make a simple Glazed Potato Wedges lunch.

I used less than the recipe below and wished I had used more, its sweet, smokey and very tasty, I cannot wait to smother chicken, chops and other vegetables with the glaze.

The glaze is the latest addition to the popular Jack Daniel’s Barbecue Sauce range, created after barbecue fans appealed to the brand to make a glaze.

The range also includes Smooth Original Barbecue Sauce, which features an intense Jack Daniel’s whiskey flavour, Full Flavour Smokey with hickory undertones and Hot Chilli with a kick that will tantalise anybody’s taste buds.The glaze and sauces are all made with real Jack Daniel’s Tennessee whiskey directly from the distillery in Lynchburg and instantly transform any dish. 

Geraldine Marks, Brand Manager for Jack Daniel’s Barbecue Sauces comments: “There are literally hundreds of recipes online about making an authentic Jack Daniel’s whiskey glaze and since we launched the sauces our customers have been asking us to create a glaze. The new Jack Daniel’s Barbecue Smokey Sweet Glaze is exactly what they’ve been craving.”

Each Jack Daniel’s sauce is virtually fat free with less than 30 calories per typical 25g serving – making it a pleasure you don’t have to feel guilty about. All the sauces are suitable for vegans too.
