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 first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.

What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!
