Injections and Brines
If your cooking a brisket, pork butt, turkey, ribs, or chicken. Put flavor deep inside the meat. While our rubs covers the outside flavors.
Cherry first. Apple on the finish. Butcher BBQ Cherry Apple BBQ Glaze brings rich, sweet cherry flavor together with a brighter apple note. It is a mild, fruit-forward glaze built for big flavor without tongue-burning heat—the idea behind our Flavor Over Fire line.
Use it as a finishing glaze on ribs, chicken, pork, or ham, but don't stop there. Add it during wrapping, stir it into your BBQ sauce, or drizzle it over foods you wouldn't normally pair with barbecue.
Bold cherry sweetness leads with apple adding a brighter, crisp-tasting finish. This glaze is about fruit flavor rather than pepper burn, making it an easy option when you're cooking for a group with different heat preferences.
Cherry and apple can do more than finish smoked meat. Try a little on crispy bacon, drizzle it over pizza after baking, spoon it over vanilla ice cream, or pair it with chocolate desserts. Start with a small amount and adjust to your taste.
Bold, sweet cherry flavor comes first, followed by a brighter apple finish. It is fruit-forward and mild, without pepper heat as the focus.
No pepper heat is intended. Flavor Over Fire is about bold flavor the whole family can enjoy, including kids who do not like spicy food.
Brush it on toward the end of cooking and let it warm and set while you watch the surface. Its sugars can darken quickly over intense direct heat.
Yes. Add some to the wrap when cooking ribs or pork to build cherry-and-apple flavor during that part of the cook.
Yes. Start with a little glaze in your favorite BBQ sauce, taste, and add more until the cherry-and-apple flavor suits your cook.
Try pork ribs, pulled pork, chicken wings, ham, duck, salmon, or smoked meatloaf. Its cherry-and-apple combination works especially well with rich savory foods.
Yes. Brush a small amount onto bacon near the end of cooking, keeping an eye on the sugars so they do not scorch.
Yes. Try a light finishing drizzle on a savory pizza where a little cherry-and-apple sweetness complements the toppings.
Yes. Try a little over vanilla ice cream, chocolate brownies, or other desserts that pair well with cherry and apple flavors.
It can be tested as a flavor ingredient in creative candy recipes. Candy making depends on precise sugar and moisture levels, so adjust and test your recipe rather than substituting it directly for syrup.
Cherry Apple is a fruit-forward glaze you can brush on, add during wrapping, drizzle over finished food, or stir into BBQ sauce. It is not limited to being a final coating.
Yes. The ingredient list includes apple juice concentrate and cherry juice concentrate.

Ingredients: High fructose corn syrup, water, apple cider vinegar, apple juice concentrate, cherry juice concentrate, xanthan gum, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate.
Cherry and apple make a natural pairing, but they don't have to stay in the dessert aisle. On pork ribs, the cherry brings a rich fruit note while the apple keeps the finish bright. On chicken wings or smoked meatloaf, a little glaze adds a different layer of flavor without making the food spicy.
Try it during wrapping, stir it into BBQ sauce, or use it as a finishing drizzle. And if you're feeling creative, put a little on bacon, a slice of pizza, or vanilla ice cream. That's the kind of versatility I want from a glaze.
For years, the backyard barbecue world has been trapped in an arms race of intense, tongue-burning heat. Pitmasters and sauce makers kept chasing higher fire, leaving behind the people who just wanted a good meal. We love bold, complex flavors—but we got tired of the sweat, the tears, and the burning spice that ruined the next bite. Somewhere in all that fire, the flavor got lost.
So we decided to change the game.
Our mission is simple: Flavor Over Fire. We make fruit-forward glazes with big flavor and no need to chase extreme heat. The whole family—including kids who prefer mild food—should be able to enjoy what comes off the grill without reaching for a glass of milk.
With Cherry Apple, bold cherry leads and crisp apple follows. No pepper burn needs to compete with the fruit. That's Flavor Over Fire: flavor is the point.
Brush it over food on the grill or smoker, add it to your wrap, or stir it into BBQ sauce. Then take the flavor beyond the fire—to bacon, pizza, appetizers, ice cream, and desserts. Flavor Over Fire means putting flavor first wherever you decide to use it.
How It Fits in the Kit: The injection puts flavor inside. The rub builds the outside seasoning. The sauce finishes the plate. And the glaze? It adds that fruit-forward finishing touch—or extra flavor during wrapping, in sauce, and on foods beyond the smoker.
Every Steak, Chop, and Burger Needs A Flavor. Should be Award Winning and Championship Grade
