One of our all-time favorites and perfect for this month's BBQ contest (check it out here), Pineapple Papaya BBQ brings sweet, northern-style BBQ flavor with a tropical touch. Anyone who's had it can rave about it all day, and anyone who hasn't is truly missing out!
Your Grill Will Thank You
If you crave that rich, thick BBQ brushed over chicken thighs and grilled to perfection or a big, juicy sausage slathered in dark, sweet sauce, look no further. This sauce is a constant grilling and smoking companion to those in the know. The sweetness of the molasses, honey, and brown sugar, with that slight acid tang from the pineapple and apple cider vinegar opens up a world of flavor on any cut of meat you feel like having. We've even seen folks top a salad with it from time to time!
Where It All Started
Our co-founder Vid crafted the recipe for Pineapple Papaya BBQ years ago (we think 2014?). Not only did he know the enzymes in the two fruits would tenderize the meat, he knew they would be just a dang delicious combo in a BBQ sauce. It quickly rose to the rank of #1 BBQ sauce in our lineup. In fact, not only is it our bestselling BBQ sauce, it also won 3rd place in the spicy BBQ category at the 2024 New York City Hot Sauce Expo. Not too shabby!
What's It Good On?
You don't have to own the newest grill and walk around with a tong holster on your belt to get the best Pineapple Papaya BBQ has to offer. Throw it on a hotdog, top a burger with it, dip some McDonald's fries in there, mix it into your Lean Cuisine, or bring it with you to an established BBQ joint and really ruffle some feathers. You will be surprised how fast you go through 12oz of this stuff! Vid likes it on sandwiches, pizza, and even salad!
The best part is that all throughout August, not only is PPBBQ on sale, all our BBQs are 20% off because of our recipe contest!
Pineapple Is Always a Win
There's so much a big slice of pineapple can do but who has fresh pineapple on hand regularly? We loved our Honey BBQ sweetness and our Chipotle BBQ was a huge hit with it's smoke and spice, but we were missing that fruit-centric BBQ that really brought the fresh and tangy vibe. That's why we came up with this sauce and why it remains as one of our top sellers to this day. It even mixes well with some of our other sauces, namely the ones with fruit. Oh, and not to worry, there's only a dash of crushed red pepper in there. It's more to bring out the flavors than to spicify your meemaw.
So grab a bottle and say "aloha" to bland, boring BBQs and "aloha" to your new go-to grilling and topping sauce. Wait, is that confusing? You know, cuz "aloha" means both hello and go- never mind, you get it.
