Upping your grill game doesn’t require new gadgets or clever hacks. A few homemade condiments are all it takes to bring the wow factor to your next backyard barbecue. Bright- ened with citrus and flavoured with cilantro, quick-pickled Marinated Red Onions are terrific sprinkled on tandoori chicken, saucy tacos and summery salads. Grilled Corn & Bacon Relish with Caramelized Purple Onion will take hot dogs and grilled shellfish to new heights. Finally, the love child of ketchup and salsa, our ginger- spiked Tomato Chili Jam is outstanding on burgers, sandwiches and grilled fish.

CAESAR SALAD

Pilsner

Rosé

Brio or other chinotto soda

With summer fruit desserts, match sweet with sweet—perhaps a glass of Moscato d’Asti or an amaretto-based cocktail.
