"North Carolina purple honey is a rare surprise found in hives in the Sandhills and the Uhwarries. It has been found in South Carolina in the areas bordering NC along the Pee Dee River but never far from the border. Some suspect the kudzu flower may be responsible for this rare honey that has a grape like flavor. Ive tasted it and can confirm the flavor is grape or berry like. This stuff is very rare so if you find some dont miss the opportunity to taste a rare delicacy the true cause of the color and flavor remains a mystery"

"As always when making Barbecue sauce use fresh ingredients. For hot sauce I would recommend Crystals Texas Pete Franks Red Hot or you could also use a local brand.
