Blackberry Barbecued Ribs Recipe
Recipe Type:
Pork,
Blackberries
Yields: 4 servings
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 55 min
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups blackberry jam
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
1/2 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger or to taste
1 to 2 teaspoons hot sauce or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground pepper
1 (4 to 5 pound) rack pork spareribs
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a food processor or blender, place blackberry jam, ketchup, brown sugar, ginger, hot sauce, and pepper; whirl until ingredients are pureed. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add
the prepared blackberry mixture and bring to a boil; boil 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Rinse ribs and pat dry. Trim and discard any excess fat. In a large pan, either
barbecue or bake 40 minutes until well browned, turning ribs over at 20 minutes.
Baste one side of ribs with 1/3 of prepared blackberry sauce; turn ribs sauce side down and cook 10 minutes or until sauce browns and forms a thick, sticky glaze. Baste top of ribs with 1/3 of blackberry sauce, turn over, and cook and additional 10 minutes or until sauce browns and forms a thick, sticky glaze.
Ribs are done when they are tender enough to easily pull from the bones and
the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F. on your
instant-read
meat
thermometer.
This
is the type of cooking and meat thermometer that I prefer and
use in my cooking.
I get many readers
asking what cooking/meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my
cooking and baking. I, personally, use the
Thermapen Thermometer
shown in the photo on the right. Originally designed
for professional users, the
Super-Fast Thermapen
Thermometer is used by
chefs all over the world. To learn more about this excellent
thermometer and to also purchase one (if you desire), just click

Remove from oven or barbecue and cut between bones into individual serving portions. Transfer ribs to a serving platter or individual serving plates and pour remaining blackberry sauce over ribs. Serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings.
