GP Bronx BBQ Sauce: A Bold Tribute to Our Home

This bold, smoky sauce is our love letter to the Bronx—a place that’s welcomed us with open arms and inspired this latest twist on a classic from our kitchens. Adapted from one of our GP kitchen classics, Bronx BBQ Sauce brings together rich tomatoes, molasses, and warming spices in a flavor that feels both familiar and full of character.

While the recipe pays tribute to our current home, its roots go back to our earliest summers at Katchkie Farm, when we began preserving tomatoes at the height of ripeness to use in our cooking year-round. That tradition continues here, in a sauce that bridges seasons and stories.

GP Bronx BBQ Sauce is part of the Katchkie Pantry—a collection of handcrafted condiments made with care, rooted in tradition, and preserved with purpose.
