Hey Guys,

Can you share your recipes that you demo the sauces, dips, sprinkles and rubs with at shows. I'm looking for easy, cheap additions I can have sitting out to let people try.
I've heard of mixing cream cheese, sour cream and all sorts of stuff but I thought a dedicated forum might help us semi-newbies.

THANKS ALL!!!
 
If you search the threads listed at the bottom of this one, you'll find a lot. Really, the best "easy additions" are simply pouring the sauces over the cream cheese, turning some rubs into creamy dips, or doing crusty bread with the oil dipping seasonings.
 
I put all the rubs in the Grill Basket and pass it around. I tell everyone that they are free to open them and sniff them. And if they want to taste them, I ask that they shake some into their hand, don't lick your finger and stick it in the bottle. That always generates a laugh.I generally don't bring the savory sauces. I did bring the sweet sauces to my last show. I did Chicken Your way for the main demo, then the host bought vanilla ice cream and we sampled the sweet sauces. Everyone liked them, but no one liked the price tag. Not a single person bought one of them.
 
I agree. Their price points are way too high, $10? I hesitated buying them for $6 on a sample order!
Maybe I'll change my mind once I taste them?

You won't change your mind. :) They're good, but a total rip off. The $12 pineapple and raspberry sauces are worth it to me because they're different. Our dessert sauces are pretty commonplace to me, and I've seen similar kinds in the grocery store that are also all natural like ours and are selling for about $4.
 
That's the thing...all of these can be gotten locally. I suppose if I was in a rural area they might be more attractive to tack onto an order.
I just tried the pineapple sauce at my last party. It was OK, and everybody else thought so. I wanted it to be great ;)
The raspberry habenero is the only one I've really liked, but stores have bigger jars of raspberry chipotle around here for $9.

At any rate, I am STILL looking forward to trying the chocolate raspberry.

The spice mixes still seem to be a good value. It's just the sauces that are overpriced., IMO.
 
I like adding the Southwest seasoning to ranch dressing at the ration of one TBS per one cup. It makes a southwest ranch dip that is easy and popular.
 
Here is a list of ideas of what to do with the pantry items for a pantry show that I gave my team. Hope it helps.

The only one I would consider buying as a customer would be the Cherry Almond because I haven't seen anything similar elsewhere. I can buy caramel at Aldi and I hate chocolate and raspberry together.
