Pineapple Bourbon Barbecue Sauce
This Pineapple Bourbon Barbecue Sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. It works perfectly as a glaze and a sauce on pork tenderloin and chops. You can have a delicious homemade thick delicious sauce that caramelizes on the grill or under the broiler in less than 30 minutes!
Some days are busy. Pork chops and tenderloins are an easy option for getting dinner on the table. Make an average meal into a delicious one with sauces and condiments! If you don’t have time or the energy to make the sauce from scratch, there is no shame in using a premade sauce. My pantry is loaded with my favorite sweet, spicy, and savory blends!
Terrapin Ridge’s Habanero Pineapple sauce is delicious and an ideal substitution if you’re in a time crunch. It has a thick consistency that is perfect for use as a glaze when grilling or broiling.

De Froid Tip: Food Arrangement
Change the whole feel of your party by serving these gourmet deviled eggs on individual plates. By adding a contrasting garnish, your visual presentation will pop! In the photo below, I used sprigs of thyme from my container garden.

Welcome to Foodie de Froid!
If you love real food, take pleasure in eating, and strive for mouth-watering flavor, you have come to the right place. Here the star of the show IS the food, presenting it in a way that makes it shine.
Tasting Experiences
We feature many appetizers and individual-sized recipes as a purposeful way to experience and share food.
Our mouth reacts to flavors in a transitional way. That first taste creates an exciting experience with the food’s intense flavors, textures, and visual appeal. Yet after the first few bites, our mouths and minds adjust, and that experience deadens.
Thus, the tasting experience! We served 14 consecutive courses at my last tasting party. Each was purposely selected to bring new flavors, textures, and presentations, creating surprises and wow moments throughout the night.
The Recipes
The recipes are documented with ingredients we love. Yet my greatest hope is to have you understand why the recipes work and eventually make them into your personal version using your favorite ingredients and presentations.
