Jim’s Easy BBQ Sauce and Cilantro Butter

A couple Sunday’s ago Jim and I were getting caught up on some work around the house and Jim decided he was making dinner. He knew exactly what he wanted and was off to the store gathering the ingredients before I could say a word! Not that I would ever complain about having dinner made for me!!  I love days like that as it does not happen often, not because Jim is not a good cook, he is a fabulous cook,  but just never has the time!

So the BBQ sauce is a recipe Jim’s dad did for every family BBQ, although Bob is no longer with us, all of his kids still make this recipe and it is enjoyed just as much now as it was years ago!  This sauce is simply two ingredients and is terrific with grilled chicken, as the sauce brings the sweet and tangy flavors to your BBQ!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Joan and Bob.

The butter recipe is also just a couple of ingredients, but makes corn on the cob much more interesting and delicious ! Jim is not a huge fan of cilantro so he did not add a lot of it to the butter, so feel free to add more if you enjoy cilantro!

BBQ Sauce Ingredients
18 ounce bottle of Kraft BBQ sauce (we used honey BBQ)
15 ounce can of cling peaches

DIRECTIONS
Combine the BBQ sauce and peaches (don’t drain the peaches) in a blender and blend until well combined and smooth.  Baste both sides of the chicken as it is being grilled. Be sure chicken is fully cooked first. Remove from heat and serve warm.

Cilantro Butter Ingredients
1 stick of unsalted butter, room temp.
1 Tablespoon (or more) diced fresh cilantro
Salt

DIRECTIONS
Combine butter and cilantro until well combined. Jim grilled our corn by wrapping each corn in tin foil and placing on the upper rack of the grill and grilling for 15 minutes, turning occasionally! When corn is cooked remove from heat, remove tin foil and run the cilantro butter over the corn and salt as desired. Serve warm.

Enjoy!
