This spicy Rhubarbecue sauce is the perfect topping for BBQ chicken, steak and even pulled pork! Plus, it’s a great way to use up the rhubarb harvest from your garden! Spicy Rhubarb BBQ Sauce Recipe - Food Life Design

Hello – I hope you’re doing awesome today! As I mentioned the other day, my rhubarb patch has been growing like crazy and Rhubarbecue sauce was high on my canning list this year.

My step-mother absolutely loves it and has put in a special request for it to be in their Christmas gift boxes.

Of course, I had to make it!

The recipe I used last year, was really good!

We all enjoyed it and I never would have thought to make BBQ sauce from rhubarb if I hadn’t found that recipe!

But, we generally like our BBQ sauce a little spicier around here.

So, with just a few tweaks to the recipe, I was able to give this yummy Rhubarbecue sauce a little more bite without altering the flavor too much.

And man is it good!

If you didn’t know it had rhubarb in it, you would never in a million years guess.

But, there’s just something about the flavor that you wouldn’t get without it.

So, if you’re looking for a way to use up some of that excess rhubarb, then don’t hesitate to give this Spicy Rhubarbecue sauce a try!

It might just become your new favorite!
