Use in basting and barbecue sauces for broiled or grilled fishes, roast poultry, pork, steaks, sausages, and chops. Add to tossed greens for salads, to vegetables, potatoes and a variety of dressings. It is also added to butter to make compound butters, tomato sauces, tartar sauce and green sauces.
