I have a new obsession and its name is Orange is The New Black. I put up a picture of me watching it on Instagram and I got so much support and encouragement from many watchers including a few of my blogger friends (I’m looking at you Joanne and Kayle!) which when you’re 20 minutes in a show means you must identify what the hype is about.
It didn’t take very long into the first episode to love it, and I have been loving it ever since. This including watching it up until 5 minutes before Game of Thrones last night and sacrificing a good seat in our usual viewing party in the living room.
Real obsession.
The thing is, I can’t exactly binge watch it during the day because Mr Jessiker Bakes is at work and I made a pledge in blood made a promise to not watch ahead of him. This means I have to dedicate myself in the daytime to things I’m actually supposed to be doing.
Yawn.
Easy Strawberry BBQ Sauce Recipe
But enough about me, more about this Roasted Strawberry Barbecue Sauce. There’s a local hot wings restaurant that serves strawberry barbecue sauce and I have been really craving it; the sauce, not the wings. And so, roasted strawberry barbecue sauce was born.
I chose to roast the strawberries because it produces a much deeper flavour and immerses much easier into the sauce. When I say that this sauce is delicious I mean BBQ King Mr. Jessiker Bakes gave it a huge thumbs up. It has all the right hints of smokiness, flavour, and spice and the strawberry adds a delicious sweetness to it. It comes together so quickly that you’ll be wondering why you ever bought barbecue sauce from the store. This sauce is ready for use on pretty much anything – or you can do like me and just eat it with a spoon.
Seriously.

Thanks Olivia!
Wow, strawberry BBQ sauce! Must try this weekend
Thanks Kathy!
Never seen anything like this before! Looks so great! I can imagine a few things I could dip into it.. so far goats cheese is at the top of my list! xoxo
Thanks Johlene! Goat cheese sounds delicious!!
Whoa, what an awesome flavour combination! I’d never heard of strawberries being used in a BBQ sauce before and now, I think I’m a little obsessed. Since it’s finally warm, that means it’s BBQ season I’m definitely going to give this a try. As for OITNB, I’m only two episodes into the first season. The Hubs isn’t watching with me so thankfully I don’t need to wait for him, but since I’m rarely home, it’s been slow going. I can’t wit to catch up – everyone tells me season 2 is incredible!
Trust me Nancy, you’re going to love this! As for OITNB, I must warn you of temptations to put off doing your blog post until 2 am (true story) to watch episodes. We are on season 2 now and I am counting the hours until we can watch the next episode!
Homemade barbecue sauce is the best but with roasted strawberries??? Sign me up! This sounds finger-lickin’ good!
Haha thanks Ashley!
I need to jump on the roasted strawberry bandwagon!! I bet they add a terrific nuance to this lovely BBQ sauce!

Thank you Tamara!
You know, I have never seen an episode of Orange is the New Black. It looks really good though and I have heard some awesome reviews about it. I have to check it out. Now GoT is my obsession. It’s what I look forward to at the end of each week haha!
Now. Onto the sauce. I love the idea that your roasted the strawberries. Genius Jessica..simply genius. The sauce looks out of this world good and I soo want to try it! 😀
Have a wonderful weekend.
Toodles,
Tammy<3
Thank you Tammy! And I can’t believe Sunday is GoT’s last episode of the season!
This sounds really, incredibly delicious! The manic dust is a sprinkle? It is separate from the sauce, right? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but since I’ve not made the recipe yet, I wanted to be sure I don’t mess it up. I can’t wait!
Thanks Heather! Not a stupid question at all! It’s a sprinkle made separately (we made it as a seasoning for BBQ chicken) then you add a tablespoon into the sauce. It definitely heightens the sauce but you can make it without it.
Thank you so much! Here’s to dinner tomorrow night!
