CRANBERRY BARBECUE SAUCE FOR RIBS OR MEATBALLS



Cranberry Barbecue Sauce for Ribs or Meatballs image

This sauce is great for a meatball appetizer or a main dish with country style ribs and rice. I use the large bag of frozen meatballs or make 2 lbs of walnut size meatballs and precook them. As always, I use the pinch and glug method of measurement, so adjust amounts to suit your own taste. Seasoned rice wine vinegar is my choice, but any vinegar will do the trick. This is written for a crockpot, but can easily adjust to stove top, just cook the sauce and serve it over the top of the meat OR oven bake at 350 F 45 minutes to an hour using the method below and a covered baking dish. Have fun and make it your own!

Tips:

  • To ensure the ribs are tender and fall-off-the-bone, cook them low and slow. The ideal cooking temperature is between 225°F and 250°F (107°C and 121°C).
  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce. Look for one made with natural ingredients and a robust flavor.
  • If you don't have a smoker, you can still make delicious ribs in the oven. Just preheat the oven to 225°F (107°C) and cook the ribs for 2-3 hours, or until they are tender.
  • To add a smoky flavor to the ribs, you can wrap them in foil with a few wood chips before cooking.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or corn on the cob.

Conclusion:

Cranberry Barbecue Ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're having a backyard barbecue or a special dinner party, these ribs will surely be a hit. So fire up the grill or preheat the oven and get ready to enjoy some mouthwatering ribs!
