Barbeque sauce with rose and strawberry jam

This month of October the weather forecast didn’t leave any doubt – cold season is here. Besides pullovers, coats, and hats we start craving for a warming something also from within.  We say “Yes” to hot tea with honey and “Yes” to more nutritious food which includes lots of root vegetables and… meat.

However, even on rainy days we won’t forget to add our trademark ingredients with floral rose-scented note. Yes, roses in the winter menu, too. That’s also a great opportunity to remind you that rose flavour goes amazingly well in sour dishes and with meat, as well. And we don’t want to sound like we know too much, but we have the feeling we can add successfully the rose floral note to almost everything… especially with this universal homemade tomato-based barbeque sauce that is a must-try with ribs and potatoes:
