Apple Barbecue Sauce Recipe

From the Burger Haritası archive · 2020First published in Turkish in 2020, when I ran Burger Haritası, my “Burger Map.” Rewritten in English; the recipe is as it was.

I think this recipe will open your mind to how creatively you can play with the barbecue sauce you already have, perhaps pairing it with slow-cooked or fatty meats.
