Ribs

So this weekend usually markes our local rib cook-off. While it is wonderful and we attended for many years, it just isn’t all that affordable. And since my husband makes way better ribs anyhow we decided to make our own. We threw 3 slabs of st louis pork ribs from Costco on the Traeger Pellet Grills. Of course 3 slabs are too many for a family of 5, however, we will have a slab and a half for leftovers, which is fine by me!

My husband, Josh, slathered the ribs with Kinders BBQ Brown Sugar Rub, then we smoked the ribs for 3 hrs on the Traeger with Hickory flavored Pellets. Later we cooked the ribs for 2 hrs at 225º F. What we had was a nice crisp outside with a juicy inside. It was way worth the wait!

PorkRibs

The heat is killing us so it is back to Barbecuing outside once again. I threw a rack of Pork Ribs on the grill.

Normally I don’t ever parboil, but it was 5:15p when we decided to make ribs, and so I threw them in a pot of boiling water before throwing them onto the hot grill.

After the ribs were charing nicely, I brushed Kinder’s Custom Meats Inc. BBQ Sauce on and caramelized the sauce.

Place ribs in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Take ribs out of water and place on the grill. Brush BBQ sauce over ribs. Cook about 10 minutes per side, to heat through. Pass remaining barbecue sauce at the table..

I must have been craving Garlic — because every thing I made tonight contained garlic, LOL! And now I hope no one knocks on the door cause I will bowl them over with my breath, LOL! As the main course I made a Crockpot pork with capers and an apricot balsamic vinegar sauce. The sauce is sweet and pairs well with the pork! And of course I love capers so it is a win win kind of dinner for my family! Pork_Crockpot

MagicBar

I made magic bars with my small cherry size Chinese Plums the kids and I picked off our tree. The bars are more moist than your typical magic bar probably since I used fresh fruit, so I would say you have to eat this one with a fork!

Magic Bar with fresh fruit

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups Gluten Free Ginger Cookies, crushed
2 cans Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 cups dark chocolate morsels
1 cups flaked coconut
1 cup raisins
1 cup cranberries
2 cups fresh cherries or chinese plums, pitted
1 cup chopped almonds

Heat oven to 350 degrees F

Coat 13×9-inch baking pan with no-stick cooking spray.

Combine ginger cookie crumbs and butter. Press into bottom of prepared pan. Layer evenly with chocolate chips, raisins, cranberries, coconut and nuts, then pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over mixture.

Bake 45-50 minutes or until browned. Cool. Cut into bars. Store covered at room temperature.
