Orange BBQ Bourbon Ribs

Ribs are always a favourite amongst the boys, as is bourbon. Couple this with the rumour that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and you've got a surefire way to remind the boys why they love you - or why they love ribs and bourbon!

Time:

Prep: 5min

Cook: 2.5 - 3hrs

Ingredients:

• 1 Orange
• 1 Cup BBQ Sauce (I use Masterfoods, smoky BBQ if you can get it is even better)
• 1/2 Cup Bourbon (I use Jack Daniels)
• 1/2 Rack Beef Ribs

Equipment:

• Roasting Pan
• Pastry Brush
• Hand Juicer
• Mixing Bowl
• Whisk

The Ribs

1. Pre-heat the oven to 150C
2. Juice one half of the orange
3. Whisk together the bourbon, BBQ sauce, and the orange juice until it forms a thick sauce
4. Using the pastry brush, brush the sauce over the ribs
5. Using the remaining half of the orange, cut into slices and place over the ribs
6. Place ribs on the roasting tray if you haven't already, and fill the bottom with water
7. Bake for 2.5-3hrs
8. Serve as desired.

My husband absolutely loves these ribs, they're always his request for a last meal before he goes out bush and he manages to devour them in seconds! For a full rack, double the ingredients, and for an even sweeter taste add honey, or try using Wild Turkey: American Honey bourbon. The glaze also works well on salmon fillets and pork ribs, though you will not need as much, about 1/2 the amount for pork ribs, and 1/4 for 2 salmon fillets.

Keep Smiling,
