While in New York this summer one of the things we went to was a barbeque competition being held at and for the Hammondsport, NY Fire Department. This is a large fundraiser for the small fire department. The event is held each year and is called “Smoke on the Water” as the fire department is located at the southern tip of beautiful Keuka Lake. This event is held in late August and they have lots to do for everyone in your family, including a cornhole tournament, a kid zone with bouncy houses, and mini golf. While we loved tasting all the amazing BBQ at the event, there was one particular vendor that stood out. You guessed it, Schweigart’s Sugar Shack.
Schweigart’s has a number of products, BBQ sauces (one team competed using their sauce and won an award),
maple peanut butter sauce, candy, nuts maple cream and of course maple syrup. The company sells at local fairs and events in the NY and Pennsylvania area, BUT they do ship worldwide.
The day we were at the BBQ festival, I was asking about a couple of the products. One product I asked about was the Italian Maple Marinade. The gentleman told me one of their favorite ways to use that is to inject it in their Thanksgiving turkey and then roast the turkey. Needless to say, as soon as we got home that was one of the first things I made except using a chicken! It was absolutely delicious!
The second product I asked about was the Maple Peanut Butter Sauce. Lucky for me, while I was chatting, both Jim and our son-in-law, Steve, took Luna so they all could get an ice cream! As soon as they came back, we added the Maple Peanut Butter Sauce on top of the ice cream and we all loved it! Creamy, rich and the perfect accompaniment to the ice cream! Needless to say, I bought both the marinade, Peanut Butter Sauce and also a bottle of the BBQ sauce!
We were talking about this company and their products all afternoon enough so that when we went to a hot air balloon festival a couple days later I went back to their tent and purchased more! All of their products are made with real ingredients, no high fructose corn syrup, and the main ingredient in each product is maple syrup!
They do ship worldwide and have a small website, so if you are not local to them check them out online!
Enjoy!
