What a nice surprise I got after I babysat Big Guy and Little Man yesterday! I got home and hubby had fired up the old grill...he had a side of ribs cooking that looked and smelled wonderful. He'd had them on about 4 hours and was getting ready to wrap them.
He said he made his own sauce and tried basting them this time...he usually just dry seasons and puts liquid on at the end. He used some bottled barbecue sauce we had and tweaked it with vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and sugar. They cooked like that over the coals until the sauce had caramelized, then we wrapped them up and set them back on the grill to finish. He had two big baking potatoes to put in the oven.
A restaurant trick - when you prepare baked potatoes, rub with a little oil, olive or vegetable, whatever you have, and sprinkle them with kosher salt. The salt draws the moisture out leaving you with a fluffy baked potato.
We didn't eat until after 8, by which time I was starving, but it was worth the wait. The ribs were falling off the bone and the meat was tasty and tender. His sauce worked very well and we have decided to work on our own recipe.
I have to go back to daughter's house today to keep the babies, but I'm going to include a recipe this evening for "Almost Wicker's" barbecue sauce. It is an excellent basting and marinating sauce and makes enough to last pretty much all summer. See you later!
