BLUEBERRY BBQ RIBS RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring water to full boil in 8-quart saucepan; add ribs. Cook over medium-high heat 20-25 minutes or until ribs are fork tender.
• Place all remaining ingredients in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 12-15 minutes or until flavors are blended.
• Heat 1 side of gas grill on medium or charcoal grill until coals are ash white. Place coals to 1 side in charcoal grill. Make aluminum foil drip pan; place opposite coals.
• Place ribs onto grill over drip pan. Grill, turning occasionally and brushing with sauce,20-25 minutes or until ribs are fork tender.
• Cook remaining blueberry sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Serve sauce over ribs.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375° and position shelves in the upper and lower thirds. In a bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and 1 1/2 tablespoons of salt. Set the ribs on 2 rimmed baking sheets and rub with the spices. Cover with foil and roast for 1 hour and 30 minutes, until tender, switching the pans halfway through. Pour off the liquid in the pans.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, melt the butter. Tie the sage and thyme sprigs together with kitchen string. Add the onion, garlic and herb bundle to the saucepan and cook over moderate heat until the onion is softened, 8 minutes. Add the vinegar and bring to a boil. Add the Perfect Blueberry Syrup and hot sauce and simmer over moderately low heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, 10 minutes. Discard the herb bundle.
• Preheat the broiler. Working with one sheet of ribs at a time, brush the underside of each rack with some glaze and broil until browned. Flip the ribs and repeat on the other side. Transfer the baking sheet to the bottom shelf of the oven. Repeat with the remaining ribs. Transfer the ribs to a work surface and slice between the bones. Mound the ribs on a platter. Pass the remaining glaze at the table.
