Southwest Apple Butter BBQ Sauce / Giveaway

May 24, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 36 Comments

Hi Everyone!

I was contacted by with Musselman’s  to ask if I wanted to make a grilled recipe using Mussleman’s Apple Butter.  I couldn’t turn the opportunity down because back in January I made Grilled Chicken Wings using Mussleman’s recipe for Sweet and Spicy Wing Sauce and those wings were so darn good, that I had to try another Mussleman’s recipe!   So I searched their website and found a fabulous recipe for Southwest Apple Butter BBQ Sauce and let me tell you it’s sticky sweet BBQ Heaven!!

Southwest Apple Butter BBQ Sauce

This Barbecue sauce is so good, I kind of took a few spoonfuls of it.  I kind of have a bad thing for condiments!  Plus I have a love for apple butter!!!  This barbecue sauce is sweet, yet it has a kick of heat to it, but not a hot heat!  It’s a good kind of heat, probably because I added a dash of hot sauce to it.  The sauce is very thick and sticks great to the chicken.  It reminds me of a barbecue chicken that I would get down south.  I can tell you, here in Northern California you can’t get BBQ sauce like this.  I am so glad I can just make my own and it only takes about 5 minute!!

Southwest Apple Butter BBQ Sauce


Like my big pieces of chicken?  I bought a pound of skinless chicken breasts and I thought there would be three pieces of it and to my surprise their are only two!  They are HUGE!!  So I grilled both of them, and my Husband and I split one and I saved the other so I can make a BBQ chicken sandwich this week for a nice quick dinner.

Southwest Apple Butter BBQ Sauce

I made the recipe for just the Southwest Apple Butter today, but for the chicken, all I did was flatten it out a bit, sprinkle with salt and pepper and placed it on the grill over medium heat.  I added some BBQ sauce to just the top of the chicken and cooked the other side for about 7 minutes, flipped it and more added the BBQ Sauce.  The chicken was done in about 15 minutes.  Of course you didn’t see it, but when I plated my chicken, I also added more BBQ sauce to it.  I couldn’t resist!  The chicken turned out fantastic!!  I love making barbecue sauce at home.  I think it always tastes so much better than store bought.  Wouldn’t you agree?

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
