Six racks three ways

[FLBentRider]

I started with six racks of baby backs from Sams Club

Removed the membrane, trimmed the excess fat and rubbed down with Salt, pepper, garlic.

Onto MAK 2 star #106 with BD Oak @225F, this pic is about halfway through the first three hours

I decided to play with some alternative flavors in the foil love.


Butter and pineapple preserves

Butter and raspberry preserves

The third flavor was "the standard" Butter, brown sugar and honey

I poured the drippings into three separate pots

Ran them through the fat separator

I added a splash of wine and reduced the sauces down.

time to eat

Pineapple

Raspberry

The family liked the alternative flavors, but the telling sign is that there were much less of the "standard" ribs left over. Next time I will add some chipotle peppers to the jam.

They look fall off the bone good!

Love the use of the drippings for the sauce

 

[Chili Head]

I like the experimentation!! I'm thinking peach preserves, pear preserves, or Harry and David pepper and onion relish (which is sweeter than it sounds). What do you think?

Those look great, Bent. How are the Sams Club ribs? I've thought about picking some up in the past.

I'm thinking all that sounds good. Talks cheap....cook it and let's see the pics son! Contest tomorrow.

Absolutely outstanding!

I can't make my mind up which of those three flavors I'd want to try most. I bet that butter & raspberry combo would be killer on chicken as well .


@moomtaz - Try the peach preserves mixed with just a bit of bourbon and red pepper flakes. That's one of my absolute favorite flavor combos for ribs.

They are not bad, It's pretty much my go-to for ribs.

Try 50/50 chipolte and preserves, We like raspberry. Take it for a quick spin in the FP.

Thanks for the feedback, Bent.

Sure will. Im doing a practice cook with the team on friday and Saturday. I'm doing one rack our normal recipe, one with a molasses rub binder instead of mustard, and one with either Harry and David's or pineapple preserves in the wrap stage...I'm still trying to figure out the pic posting procedure, though.

There's nothing better than testing alternative flavors! Great cook!

Indeed it is!

Decided to go with red current jelly for one rack tomorrow. Look for it in a later post
