Recently I have seen a number of recipes for BBQ using blueberries. This week Bryan King stopped by Home & Family to share his Brown Sugar Baby Back Ribs with host Cristina Ferrare. They look and sound really good so I thought I would would share it with you. You can watch Home & Familyweekdays at 10 am ET/PT on the Hallmark Channel.
Brown Sugar Baby Back Ribs
Ingredients for the Blueberry Chipotle Sauce:
- 1 pound fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 3/4 cup honey 3 cups 12 Bones Tomato “Q” Sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
Directions for preparing the Ribs:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Tear off a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil that is approximately 6 inches longer and 6 inches wider than your rack of ribs (basically large enough so you can fully envelop the ribs in a foil tent).
- Be sure to lay shiny side up otherwise heat will be directed outward away from ribs.
- Add pan spray to foil. Sprinkle smoked sea salt in a line down the middle of the foil.
- Pat dry top of rib so brown sugar rub will not run off and lay meat side up over top of the sea salt.
- Add approximately 1 cup (1 handful) of brown sugar rib rub to top of rib and pat down.
- Tent foil completely enclosing rib and lay on top of sheet pan.
- Cook for 2 hours and 15 minutes. Check to see if it’s done by wiggling a bone. If it is still tight, then tent foil back and cook for another 15 minutes.
- Once done, sprinkle approx 2 tablespoons of brown sugar rub on top of rib and cook on broil with foil open for approx 5 more minutes.
- Watch carefully so as to not scorch.
Directions for the Blueberry Chipotle Sauce:
- In a food processor or a blender, puree the berries and the chipotles
- Then transfer the berry mixture to a saucepan, and add the remaining ingredients.
- Simmer this mixture over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and cool.
- The finished and cooled sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.
I think these sound really good ~ don’t you? I may make these this weekend.
