Recipes and Experimental Ribs
Fresh as a Daisy has the latest Carnival of the Recipes for your perusal. I actually remembered to get in it this week. Go me!
I’m about to embark on one of my little cooking experiments. Boneless country style ribs are on sale for $1.99/lb this week, so I got a nearly 3 lb package of them. My sister makes the best baked ribs in mass quantities of sauce, so I was going to try to replicate it. I even bought molasses, which is one ingredient, but I forgot that she uses tomato juice. Close enough. I have everything else that one might use for such a concoction.
Since we’re having warmth today, and were having sun, I was thinking it might not be ideal to run the over for a couple hours. So I’m going to try ribs in the crockbot. Without a recipe.
Worst case, it gets overcooked and we end up with shredded pork. It’s hard not to come out with something edible and even yummy. The question will be whether I want to try it again, and how it might need refining.
I’ll try to keep track of what I do so I can make it a recipe on the first pass if it’s good…
