Don’t let the Rhubarb throw you off of these Back Ribs with Bourbon Rhubarb BBQ Sauce! Sweet, tart, tangy – pretty sure you will be making these again and again.
I have a lot of favorite rib recipes but I wanted to try the Bourbon Rhubarb sauce – it has rhubarb, strawberry and bourbon among the more traditional BBQ sauce flavours. I am so glad I did!
Starting with a dry rub adds a layer of flavour. You bake them low and slow with this delicious BBQ sauce- covered so they stay moist. Then the last half hour you let the sauce caramelize.
You are in for a treat!
Wine Pairing
The sweet/tart combination of this sauce call for an interesting pairing. A dry Rosé with hints of strawberry and some cranberry tartness would be ideal.
A lighter, low tannin red like Valpolicella, Beaujolais or Barbera would also go well.
