Brings the rich flavor of bourbon from the bar into the kitchen. Use as a topping, marinade, or dipping sauce.

Recipes:

Black & Blue Burgers YIELDS: 4-6 burgers INGREDIENTS: Bacon, about 8 slices (1-2 slices per burger) 1 tsp Oil or Butter ½ White Onion, small diced 2 cloves Garlic, grated ½ lb Ground Pork ½ lb Ground Beef 1 Tbsp Blue Cheese, crumbled, plus more for topping 2 Tbsp Milk (optional) ¼ c Breadcrumbs, or 4 pieces of white bread, finely chopped 3 Tbsp F+F Sweet Bourbon Grillin’ Sauce, plus more for basting Salt + Pepper, to taste (about 1 ½ tsp of each) 6 Brioche or Sesame Burger Buns INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Begin by small dicing your white onion; set aside. 2. Using a microplane, grate your garlic cloves & set aside, as well. 3. Preheat your oven to 365°F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper for the bacon (or use precooked bacon). 4. Bake the bacon for about 15 minutes, until golden brown & slightly crispy. Remove from the oven & dry off the fat with paper towels. 5. In a sauté pan on medium-low heat, with oil or butter (about a teaspoon), sauté onions & grated garlic, until translucent & some edges have begun to brown. 6. Remove the onion/garlic mixture from the heat & allow it to cool, slightly. 7. In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork & beef with sautéed onion mixture, crumbled blue cheese, milk, breadcrumbs, & F+F Sweet Bourbon Grillin’ Sauce. Mix together until everything is evenly incorporated. 8. Portion and shape the meat mixture into 4-6 evenly sized patties. 9. Cook burger patties on a grill, or in a cast iron skillet on medium high heat, to your desired doneness. While cooking, baste on additional F+F Sweet Bourbon Grillin’ Sauce using a brush. 10. Once done, remove from heat, & baste with additional F+F Sweet Bourbon Grillin’ Sauce. 11. Lightly toast the buns. Once toasted, assemble your burger, layering delicious meat patty, crispy bacon, & blue cheese on each bun. Top with even more F+F Sweet Bourbon Grillin’ Sauce, if desired. Enjoy!

Sweet Bourbon Grilled Salmon INGREDIENTS: 2-4 6-oz. pieces of Coho Salmon ½ c Olive Oil Kosher Salt Fresh Ground Black Pepper 1 Bottle F+F Sweet Bourbon Grillin’ Sauce DIRECTIONS: 1. With a basting brush, lightly brush both sides of your salmon filets with olive oil, reserving a little to brush on your clean grill grate. Important! Your grill grate must be clean for this recipe to work. Otherwise, your salmon will stick and create a big mess. 2. Lightly season each side of your salmon with kosher salt & fresh ground pepper. Preheat your grill to 400°F. 3. While grill is preheating, pour 4 oz. of F+F Sweet Bourbon Grillin’ Sauce into a small saucepan & heat on the stovetop until the sauce starts to slightly simmer—you want it warm, not boiling. 4. Once your grill is preheated to the desired temperature, brush your cleaned grill grate with olive oil & place salmon, skin side up, on your grill for 5 minutes with lid closed. 5. With a wide spatula, flip the salmon, brush the top with F+F Sweet Bourbon Grillin’ Sauce & cook for 5 minutes longer. 6. Glaze salmon with F+F Sweet Bourbon Grillin’ Sauce once more & remove from grill. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve with your favorite sides. Enjoy!
