Flavor Profile: What’s Inside

This Cranberry BBQ Glaze uses quality ingredients to give your BBQ meats a rich depth of flavor and crave-worthy texture. With a core of tart cranberry, this sauce packs a fruity punch balanced by the subtle sweetness of the brown sugar. A splash of apple cider vinegar adds bright notes and helps to tenderize your meat. Finally, a blend of spices including thyme, rosemary, and smoked paprika, give this yummy glaze levels of complex flavor.

What you won’t find in this glaze or any of my products is any liquid smoke or artificial ingredients. My main goal at Hey Grill Hey is helping you make better BBQ. That starts with you put in your food, and what I put in the bottle. The tart, tang, and sassy sweetness are all 100% real and totally delicious. Rest assured knowing you can glaze with confidence.

The Perfect Glaze for Turkey

Once you get just one bite of tender, juicy turkey drizzled in Cranberry Glaze, you’ll be counting down the days until Thanksgiving. The good news for you is, I’ve got some turkey recipes that are totally tasty, and perfect for any time of year. With different methods for everything from breasts to legs, you can enjoy smoky, glazed turkey whenever you want. Here are some of my favorites to try next with your Cranberry BBQ Glaze:

How to Use Cranberry Glaze

To make things as easy for you as possible, the recipes in your library using Cranberry Glaze tells you exactly how much to use and when to use it. If you’re planning on using this glaze to give your other favorites a little holiday flair, you can swap it out directly for any other glaze or sauce in equal parts. You can also just drizzle it liberally. Nobody will be upset, trust me.

Another awesome thing about this bright, tangy glaze is how you can use different methods to get different results. If you like your chicken or turkey on the saucy side, you can add your glaze after you finish cooking. You can also drizzle your glaze on during the final stage of cooking for a more crispy, tacky texture. The more time over high heat, the more sticky and caramelized your glaze becomes. However you prefer the finish on your smoked and grilled meats, Cranberry Glaze can do it all.

If you love brining your birds, this glaze is a match made in heaven with my Apple Spice Turkey Brine. With a versatile blend of both sweet and savory flavors, this Cranberry Glaze brings some zhuzh and style to your BBQ menu.
