A brief hijack: wrapping ribs in aluminum foil.
It prevents the fire that always starts when I look away and it keeps them from drying out. TNAI Mrs. Plant likes them because they are literally falling off the bone, but I like to unwrap them for awhile and get them brown, tender yet still attached to the bone.
Do any of y’all wrap ribs?
Holy hijack!
Go ask this on a barbecue forum and watch the board explode.
Totally agree. You should see me and hubby fight over this. He also boils his ribs before putting them on the grill. Sacrilege!
First vegemite in barbecue sauce, and now this?
On the other hand, at least it’s not boiling them.
I hear if you put the ribs in cold water and slowly bring it to a boil the ribs never know they were boiled and its all okay.
Does this mean one may wrap them in foil very, very slowly?
As long as you don’t make any “crinkling” sounds and wake them up.
I was just rummaging around in the fridge and found the last batch of BBQ sauce I made. It had blueberries in it, and turned out great. When I was making it, I found a couple packages of wild blueberries left over from last summer in the freezer in danger of getting freezer burnt, so figured if people can put peaches in BBQ sauce, I can put blueberries in.
It’s kinda purple, but other than that, they add a nice sweet/sour taste. I’d do it again.
Pretty much any fruit can successfully find its way into a barbecue sauce. I’m particularly partial to a bit of tamarind, myself.
