Indiana Style Barbecue Sauce

In 2004, Chef Tad Delay, co/owner of The Limestone Grille in Bloomington, Indiana began developing BBQ sauces, dry rubs and hot sauces. Three years later, his Mt. Pilot products include five BBQ sauces, two hot sauces, and an all natural dry rub.

I met Chef Tad at the Bloomington Farmers Market and sampled his product line. The star of the show? The Indiana Style Sauce which is made from locally-grown tomatoes and onions and gets its sweet and smoky flavors from Indiana Shagbark Hickory syrup and a pinch or two of Mt. Pilot's All-Natural BBQ Rub. At 37 calories per tablespoon, it’s a low calorie condiment packed to the brim with BIG flavors. Chef Tad suggests serving his Indiana style sauce over chicken, ribs, or pork shoulder. I made a batch of sweet potato fries this weekend and used the Indiana Style sauce in place of ketchup. I served baked salmon with the fries and quickly discovered that the sauce was just as tasty on the fish! You can find the recipe for Sweet Potato Oven Fries in the Fall Recipes section of this site.

You can purchase these sauces and the rub at the Butcher’s Block, Bloomington Farmers Market, Bloomingfoods Market and Deli, The Limestone Grille or by calling 812-335-8110.
