THE FLAVOR AT A GLANCE
Wild Cherry BBQ Seasoning — Savory BBQ Rub with a Subtle Cherry Finish
Savory flavor first. Cherry in the background. Butcher BBQ Wild Cherry BBQ Seasoning brings garlic, onion, herbs, and a touch of smoke together in a balanced barbecue rub. Natural cherry powder adds a subtle background note rather than taking over the flavor. If you want something different from an ordinary BBQ seasoning without making your meat taste sweet or fruity, Wild Cherry belongs by the grill.
Use it on pork ribs, pulled pork, chicken, turkey, and smoked ham. The savory blend stands up to barbecue favorites, while the light cherry note adds character without overpowering the meat.

How to Use
Pat the meat dry, then apply an even coat before cooking. Start with a moderate amount on chicken and smaller cuts; use a fuller coating on ribs or pork shoulder if you prefer. Wild Cherry can be used alone or paired with a savory injection as part of your usual barbecue routine.
Pitmaster tip: Cherry or apple wood smoke can complement the subtle cherry note in the rub. Since the seasoning contains sugar and molasses powder, keep an eye on the surface during high-heat grilling and move food away from direct heat if it darkens too quickly.

Let Me Tell You More
Don't let the name fool you. Wild Cherry isn't a dessert-style rub or a seasoning where fruit takes over. The flavor starts with savory garlic, onion, and herbs. Cherry stays in the background, and a light smoky note rounds out the bite.
That's what makes it such a good fit for smoked ribs, pork shoulder, chicken, turkey, and ham. You get familiar barbecue flavor with a subtle cherry twist—enough to make it interesting, without taking the spotlight away from the meat.
