TOMMY BAHAMA'S BLACKBERRY BERRY BBQ - COPYCAT RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Cooking the ribs: Lightly coat each side of the ribs with the dry rub. Place a metal baking rack in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Arrange ribs bone to bone. Cover with the marinade. Cover the roasting pan with the aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 3½ hours or until a bone comes out clean. Cool in the liquid. Blackberry Berry BBQ Sauce Combine all ingredients except the cornstarch slurry into a saucepot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes. Add the slurry, turn the heat to medium high and continue to cook for 5 minutes until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and cool. To serve: Place ribs curved side up on a preheated medium grill, heat through on one side then flip to heat the other side, brush generously with the BBQ sauce and heat until the edges of the bones begin to bubble.

BAKED RIBS WITH SPICY BLACKBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix chili powder, garlic, and salt in small bowl; rub mixture into ribs. Place ribs on large rimmed baking sheet, meaty side up. Bake ribs 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, puree remaining ingredients in blender until almost smooth. Strain blackberry puree into heavy medium saucepan; discard solids in sieve. Cook puree over medium-high heat until reduced to 1 cup, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• Brush ribs with enough sauce to coat. Continue baking until sauce browns and forms thick glaze, about 10 minutes longer. Cut slabs between bones into individual ribs. Serve with remaining blackberry sauce.

BLACKBERRY BRANDY

Steps:

• Divide the blackberries between 3 sterilised 500ml 'Kilner' jars (or alternatively use other sterilised jars/containers that you can seal tightly, or place blackberries into one very large container).
• Pour in the sugar, dividing it equally between the jars; divide and pour in the brandy.
• Seal the jars tightly and shake them well.
• Store in a cool, dark cupboard and shake every other day for a week, then shake once a week for two months; the brandy be then be ready to drink, but will keep improving if you can manage to leave it for longer!
• When the brandy has steeped for at least two months, strain it off into a 1 litre bottle (you can reserve the fruit for a very boozy dessert; a few berries are great served with vanilla ice cream); it is now ready to serve.

BLACKBERRY BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Cut the ribs into individual ribs.
• Melt the butter in the olive oil, in a frying pan, over medium high. Once the oil is hot, add the pork ribs and sear. You don't want them cooked, but you want the sides brown to hold in the juices and give texture to the meat. You will probably need to do this in batches, so add the butter and oil a bit at a time until all the ribs are cooked.
• Mix all the other ingredients in the blender and puree until smooth.
• Place ribs into crock pot as they sear. Pour sauce over ribs.
• Cook on high for five hours, turn to low and cook another 3-4 hours.
• Enjoy! This is really nice with steamed veggies, with a touch of lemon juice.
