Summer is a time to break out the barbecue. Long gone are the days of grilling just burgers and steaks. Barbecues are now popular places for fruit and vegetables. No matter what you choose to grill, the sauce can make it or break it. The choices for sauces are endless: marinades, dips, sauces, glazes, and rubs.

Marinades typically have three components: acidic liquid for tenderizing (such as vinegar, beer, pineapple juice), oils, and herbs and spices. Dips, sauces, and glazes are often thicker versions of a marinade and are usually added at the end of the cooking time. Rubs are a dry blend of spices and seasonings used to complement the flavour of the food.
