One way to always have summer flavors around, even when it’s not summer, is to have an array of delicious BBQ sauces on hand. Easy to make and pretty versatile, homemade BBQ sauces are a must have any time of year.
This new Pomegranate BBQ Sauce worked perfectly with the Sweet Potato Sliders I recently posted. Tangy, sweet, and all the delicious flavors in between is what made it so delicious. Using a Pomegranate Balsamic vinegar that I found on Vitacost, the flavors just exploded in my mouth. It was so good, I was licking my fingers and may have even licked the plate.
