These ravens were eating just about any type of food they could find during the winter months here and these guys are only about 1/2 the size of their northern interior cousins. Why are there raven pic on the moose blog you might wonder?  Well we are feeling like these ravens about now, the moose is all gone and hunting season is months away. So I thought here is a recipe that we make when there is no moose and you want something wonderful.

 

Baby Back Ribs
1 cup of Grand Mariner orange liquor
Rose Mary Fresh at least 5 stems if possible- dry works in a pinch
1 Cup Molasses
Cracked Black Pepper
1 tbsp butter

Boil the ribs in salt water with the fresh rosemary or 1 tbsp dry rosemary for 2 hours. Remove and let stand for 10 minutes. Then rub with 1/2 cup molasses and pepper and salt and 2 tsp dry rosemary.
Let stand with rub on it for 1 hour in cool place.

In small sauce pan mix 1/2 cup molasses and 1 cup of the liquor and the butter simmer and reduce to 1/2. Remove from heat.  This is your basting and dipping sauce and boy is it good..

Grill the ribs on the BBQ on med to low heat basting thick and often, turn often.
These are mouth watering and so filling. Serve with potato salad or rice or baked potatoes.
