Okay, enough on salads for a bit. It is barbecue time..........for anyone that has witnessed Bob and I together in the kitchen........you will appreciate this. We are both so opinionated and BOTH know we are right about everything........when it comes to barbecue........the fight is on!
This is a recipe that I love for babyback ribs. They are tender and the sauce is to die for. With one exception.......my daughter Robin.......has the best sauce recipe in the world but does make a huge amount, which I freeze in containers and love to pull them out of the freezer when I need them. I will give you that recipe at another time. Today........start with sauteing 1 onion in about a Tblsp of butter just til soft. Add 1 1/2 cups ketsup, one bottle of chili sauce, (I use a couple shots of sriracha and some water) 1/4 cup vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 3 Tblsp of Dijon mustard, 3 Tblsp dark molasses, 3 Tblsp Worcestershire sauce, 2 Tblsp of lemon juice, a couple dashes of cayenne, and about 1/2 tsp liquid smoke. Bring this all to a boil and simmer for at least an hour and really more......just til thickens to about 2 cups.
Put your ribs in a big pot and cover with cold water and 1 tsp of salt.........bring to a boil......boil for about an hour.......drain and remove to a cookie tray. Spread the sauce over both sides and let sit for about 1 to 2 hours. Fire up the barbecue to a med heat......grill til charred, turning, about 10 minutes. This is where we differ........I want the bbq med hot and cook just til charred.............but NOOOOOOO we are going to cook them slowly with a water steam.......he promises it will work. I decided I would rather eat them his way than listen to him complain about my way. I'll let you know the results tomarrow. Either way.........I predict they will be killer!
Bob picked a huge bucket of plums from the neighbors tree (bush) and this afternoon will boil down the juice.........make jelly in the morning.
