Its football season!! This means its tailgating time! There is not much better than football, friends, and barbeques. It’s a wonderful time. This week Tech’s game was not a home game so me and Jon watched the game at home on our couch. That day he asked me what I was planning on making for dinner, and if we had any “football watching food.” Luckily for him I had a rack of ribs sitting in the fridge. I would have loved to season these up and have Jon throw them on the grill, but because we are currently in an apartment we do not have a grill. So I had to settle on cooking these in the oven, but they still turned out tender and tasty!
Ingredients…
1 rack of spare pork ribs
3 tbsp apricot jelly
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp tomato paste
5 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp sherry
3 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp whiskey
Directions…
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Combine jelly, water, tomato paste, ketchup, sherry, sugar, and whiskey in small sauce pan. Bring to boil and stir until well combined.
- Brush the glaze onto both sides of your rack of ribs, place ribs in a large baking dish, and place in the oven.
- Bake for 2-3 hours or until meat is cooked through, basting the ribs with the apricot whiskey sauce every 30 minutes.
- When fully cooked, cut the ribs, brush on the remaining sauce, and serve.
Suggested pairings: your favorite “football fixins!” Throw the food pyramid out the window for one night and forget about a balanced meal. Pair this with you favorite chips and dip, or sweet potato fries. Whatever you think when you think football. Then, fill up your plate, get yourself a drink, and enjoy the game!!
