Barbecue Day 2: the Barbecue Sundae
May 9th, 2010 by katie
Here is the most fantastic way to savor your leftover barbecue: the barbecue sundae. Creamy, crunchy, sweet, and spicy, barbecue sundaes are a great one-handed way to enjoy the best of your barbecue.
Barbecue Sundae
- barbecue beans
- coleslaw
- chopped beef (or other barbecue)
- barbecue sauce
- jalapeno pickles
- Layer your barbecue sundae in a clean glass jar, with beans on the bottom, a layer of coleslaw in the middle, top with chopped beef or whatever barbecue you have on hand.
- Add a spoonful of barbecue sauce and top with jalapeno pickles.
Jalapeno Pickles
makes a half-pint, prep 10 min- enough sliced jalapenos to fill a half-pint jar, about 6
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1/4 tsp celery seed
- pinch ginger
- Pack a clean half-pint jar with sliced jalapenos and garlic cloves.
- Bring vinegar and sugar to a boil in a small pot.
- Add spices and stir until combined.
- Pour boiling mixture over jalapenos, you will not use all of the sugar mixture, then tightly seal.
- Allow jalapenos to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.

I love the barbecue sundae idea, and the pickled jalapenos are the perfect topper. I’m trying this the next time I barbecue!

Love the idea, but it needs a new name. My stomach turned a little bit when I read the title and imagined pulled pork on ice cream…

That’s so creative – I love it! Love the photo too, the mason jar makes a great presentation.

Very Clever. Next time I have bbq, I’ll have to take a bite of all three together and see what I think.

It looks delicious. Especially with the jalapeños. Is the idea to eat it as a meal in itself?

This sounds delicious, I like the touch of jalapeno there. Although I might add a little more spike in it because I love my barbecue hot and crisp.

I love the idea of putting it in a jar. It would be perfect for a beach BBQ setting or someplace where it would be difficult to eat off plates. Brilliant!

Great idea! I was worried it was going to be some sort of dessert with BBQ…

I love it! Thinking of trying it with my black beans and sweet vinegar slaw!
