If there was ever an “official” day to grill out, it would be Father’s Day, wouldn’t it!

This weekend, families all over the nation will be outdoors, watching Dad grill, and devouring the results. Whether your dad’s specialty is simply burgers and dogs, or whether your dad ventures into the area of ribs, briskets, chicken, and other delicious meats, there’s something about food cooked on a grill, outdoors, that makes us drool just to think about it.

People have bigger appetites when they eat outdoors, and foods cooked on an outdoor grill have a fragrance that nothing else can compete with. If you don’t believe it, just think for a minute and remember how the very air smells when your neighbors are grilling out, and how “other people’s meals” can inspire you to fire up your own grill.

This Father’s Day, we here at Texas Pepper Jelly hope you and your family have a wonderful, safe, yummy day, with all the people you love best. If you are fortunate enough to still have your father, and if you are even MORE fortunate to have a father who loves to cook outdoors, we hope you will count your blessings, and perhaps even share him with friends who have lost their fathers.

As for all of you fathers out there, who plan to grill out this weekend, well, all we can say is, GOOD MOVE! And we know your families appreciate it, too.

And if we may make some recommendations, your cookout would be greatly improved and enhanced if you used some Texas Pepper Jelly products, such as any of our pepper jellies, which make great marinades and grilling sauces, our brand-new Texas Bird Bath for your chicken, and our absolutely delicious Texas Rib Candy, which will make your family line up for more before the cook has even had a chance to sit down.
