BLUES HOG: Tennessee Red BBQ Sauce – 539g Glass Jar

The original-recipe jar, straight from the South

Blues Hog Tennessee Red in the classic glass pint jar — the old-school format, made to the original recipe. A thin, vinegar-and-pepper sauce pulled straight from Southern barbecue joints: sharp, zesty and built to cut clean through rich, fatty meat. A mop, a baste and a dipping sauce all in one.

The flavour

Bright, sharp vinegar up front, a savoury middle and a gentle peppery warmth on the finish. Tangy rather than sweet, thin rather than sticky — the sauce that lifts pulled pork and stops a fatty sandwich feeling heavy.

How to use it

• Mop it over pork shoulder or ribs through the cook to build tangy layers.
• Splash it through freshly pulled pork before it hits the bun.
• Serve as a dipping sauce for pork and beef sandwiches.
• Thin a marinade with it for chicken before the grill — the rogue move that keeps the meat juicy.

In the jar

The traditional glass pint jar — thin and pourable, ready to spoon, mop or splash straight onto the meat.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl's always had a soft spot for the old jar — original recipe, no fuss. Rub a shoulder with Rum and Que Rib Rocker Pork Rub, smoke it low, then mop and serve with Tennessee Red. A spoon of Tracklements Chunky Tomato Chutney on the bun sharpens it up.

FAQ

Why is it so cheap?
It's on runout because it's reached or passed its best-before date, so it's heavily discounted. Best-before is a guide to peak quality, not a safety cut-off — every product is quality-checked before it ships and is still perfectly good to use.

What's the difference between the jar and the bottle?
The glass jar is the classic, original-recipe format (which can contain high fructose corn syrup). The newer squeeze bottle is the reformulated version. Both are gluten free.

Is it thick and sweet?
No — it's a thin, tangy vinegar-and-pepper sauce, ideal as a mop or dip.

Is it gluten free?
Blues Hog list it as gluten free — always confirm against the physical label if you have an allergy.
