FROM OUR EDITOR'S DESK

 
Hello and welcome!
 
With the start of June comes some exciting new changes here at Caroline's.
 
First and foremost, on June 30th we will announce the release of our newest seasoning blend - Caroline's Sweet Maple Rub! We received a lot of requests from our newsletter subscribers and customers seeking a sweeter rub that would go on ribs as well as salmon, with a full chile flavor that wouldn't burn off their taste buds. So we went back to the drawing board and began the process. After a long stretch of development and testing, we ended up creating this blend by merging the traditions of a Kansas City Style rub with the incredible maple products available in Canada. This rub was an absolute hit with our test groups, and I have to admit, it is quickly rising to the top of my favorites list.
 
This month, we also say so long for now to our Texas Beef and Game Rub. Over the last 5 years, it has been a top performer, but the other day I began to experiment with it by adding a couple of unique and unusual ingredients which we recently got our hands on, and they took the rub from excellent to superior. So we've taken it off the shelves, and have sent it back to the test kitchen to begin the process of creating a new and greatly improved Texas Beef and Game Rub. Look for its return in an upcoming newsletter!
 
Our discount this month is a bit different from the usual, so be sure to check it out!
 
Thanks again for reading this issue, and we hope to hear from you soon!

What's in this month's issue...

This month's article is all about the burger, one of our absolute favorite grilled foods. A top choice among grillers for its simplicity and versatility, the hamburger truly defines the backyard cookout.  Few items outside of competitive barbecue really bring out the spunk in people more than burger making techniques. Each and every cook has their tried and true method for making the perfect hamburger, and most are quite willing to share their suggestions and tips with anyone willing to listen. This month, we hope you're listening, because our article is full of great hamburger tips and hints!
 
While it may seem simple enough, the hamburger can be a real challenge to do properly especially with hungry guests looking over your shoulder. We have always been big believers that a simple burger is best, so this month's recipe shows you how to make a simple yet perfect burger every time. And for those who want to kick it up a notch, we give you some ideas for toppings that you may never have thought of!

There are a number of vegetables we all hear about regularly, especially when it comes to making healthy eating choices. But one you hear very little about is the mushroom, which by the way, also goes great with burgers! So this month’s “Did You Know” is all about the health benefits of the mushroom. You either love them or you hate them, but mushrooms are a great way to add a bunch of healthy vitamins and nutrients to your diet.

OUR FEATURED RECIPE

  RECIPE FOR A BETTER BURGER

Nothing is quite as enjoyable as a freshly cooked hamburger with all the trimmings.
 
To begin with, much like most people, we like a juicy burger. So to keep the patty juicy throughout the cooking process, we tend to steer away from lean or extra lean beef, opting instead for...
