Strawberry Syrup

My very first job was working at Dairy Queen. (Don’t worry, I never use that as a secret password or secret question.) I was always the front counter person, because people loved me for some reason, so that meant in the restaurant that I worked at the ice cream making was my responsibility. My favorite thing to make was banana split topped with candied walnuts of course. That little curl at the top of the ice cream is a DQ signature trademark, and it had to be just right! So, when I had any blizzard, sundae, or banana split to make, I loved to smell the syrups. That smell still takes me back. Say what you want, I loved working at Dairy Queen, and I had the best boss and coworkers!

Angel’s BBQ Sauce

This is a nice mellow sweet BBQ Sauce that packs a powerful punch in flavor with just a hint of heat to spice things up. You may be surprised at my two secret ingredients: cinnamon and clove. These bring a really nice layer of flavor that is very satisfying to the palate.
