Cowboys and Chuckwagon cooks spend all day making the right blend of spices to come up with the great tasting flavors in our BBQ sauces. Why, because great BBQ is about rubs and sauces. The past Memorial Day Weekend, I discovered and tried a new sauce I used on chicken and shrimp and found the flavor perfect. The sauce, wow....

Melanie's BIG ACRES Chipotle Maple BBQ Sauce.

Several things impressed me about the flavor. Chipotle is a hot pepper so I was cautious to first taste a tea spoon size of the sauce to make sure I knew how to blend it in case the Chipotle was going to be too hot for the average palate. I was surprised by the perfect taste. Sweet but not too sweet, tang but not to much tang and it seems to just make you desire more. That is how a great spice is suppose to be.....

I also liked that this sauce is made "All-Natural." No MSG, fat free and no preservatives. It's healthy...using pure maple Syrup, natural honey and Dark Molasses.

I was curious about "BIG ACRES" so I read more about the company becoming more impressed with Melanie and Kent Yunk who founded Melanie's Fine Foods in 2002. They both are former dot.comers who already had a superb skill with the computer industry. However, they both have a great passion about gourmet foods and natural life styles.

I enjoyed the taste as well as my company visiting. I know my daughter is a vegan so I tried some of the sauce on the grilled Zucchini and once more, pleased by the superb taste that this sauce delivers. Melanie has other blends which I am going to have to try. She also can gift wrap selection with Father's Day coming up or for that special person that might be hard to fine the right choice of gift. However, what I liked the best was the taste and that really matters the most in my book.
