"If I could bathe in any BBQ sauce..."

"If I could bathe in any BBQ sauce, I'd choose Outta the Park without a doubt. This sauce is so darn good! The packaging is deceiving. On the outside the bottle appears to be an all American favorite with a hint of fifties era innocence. The delectable sauce on the inside however is ultra modern tasting and far from innocent. This sauce is sweet yet touts a tangy bite at the end thanks to the perfect amount of jalapeno. The sauce's sophistication is attributed to the yummy bits of fresh ginger and perfect blend of spices. I will shamefully admit that I kept sticking my finger directly into the neck of the bottle and repeatedly licked it right off my fingers! After one taste I made only one sound "Oooooooooh!" I gained several pounds the week I tried this product because I felt the need to put it on everything! It is versatile-I used it to spice up turkey burgers and even used it to add flavor to sugar snap peas. If I had a second bottle I'd even use some on whole grain pasta to create an Asian inspired BBQ dish. This BBQ sauce is exceptional. Although the price point is higher than the average BBQ sauce, you are not paying for an average BBQ sauce here. This is a yummy one of a kind made by a husband and wife team who care about serving people an all natural product infused with the love and passion of their kitchen and marriage. Your sauce hit a homerun with this reviewer!"

New Year's Day -- Roast Pork and BBQ Sauce

Our family's traditional New Year's Day dinner was Outta the Park this year, as we slow-roasted a 6 lb. Boston Butt and served it with a generous pour-over of our sauce.

The following recipe fed 8 adults (and 8 grandchildren!), along with traditional side dishes of black-eyed peas, turnips, collard greens and mac and cheese. Don't wait till 2011 to try this one!

6lb. Boston Butt Roast (boneless), rolled and tied with butcher's twine
8 sprigs rosemary
4 tbsps. olive oil
1 head of garlic, cloves peeled and left whole
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
