Excellent barbecue grilling online shopping: When I think Memphis I think Memphis style ribs. And when I think ribs I think of dry ribs and wet ribs. Dry ribs are just that; dry rub and oil on the rib and the flavor and tenderness cooked into the meat. The wet rib is doused in sauce before, during, and after the cooking process. Sauces, from what I have seen, are driven by flavor of molasses and tomato paste being reduced (with other ingredients) giving a rich dark texture. This mayonnaise based white BBQ sauce is all about tangy and rich flavor. This white sauce was made for grilled and smoked chicken by Robert Gibson from Big Bob Gibson’s Bar-B-Q. Not only is it great on chicken it’s a great dipping sauce for grilled chicken wings or even for French fries. Find even more information at gourmet spice store.

Maple syrup tip of the day: Mostly what the sugarmaker is waiting for is the arrival of the time of year known as “sugar weather,” when the nights are below freezing and the days are mild. This is the type of weather that makes the sap flow. When the sugarmaker feels the time is “right” they will start to tap trees. Tapping involves going from tree to tree in the sugarbush, drilling holes into the wood which carries the sap. If buckets are used to collect the sap, a metal spout or “spile” is tapped snugly into the hole, and a bucket is hung from a hook on the spout. A cover is put on the bucket to keep out rain, snow, and debris. If a plastic tubing system is used to collect the sap, a plastic spout, which is connected to the pipeline system, is tapped into the hole in the tree.
The rich and complex flavors that result from the multi-year aging process are truly exceptional. You only need a small amount of this dark syrupy vinegar to sprinkle on a fresh strawberry or peach, or drizzle on some Parmesan Reggiano, or vanilla ice cream. You don’t cook with traditional balsamic vinegar. Heat would destroy the subtle flavors, and waste this precious liquid. You can however, drizzle some on a plate before adding the main dish, or sprinkle some on top of a dish such as pork, chicken, or polenta. Or you can do what I do, and that is take few drops and enjoy it straight up, allowing the flavors to coat the inside of your mouth. You will get hints of the different woods and the sweet and sour flavors of the vinegar. Taste it as you would a precious, fine wine.
A trifle is a dessert with layers of custard (or pudding) or whipped cream, fruit, and pound cake or sponge cake. My mom makes a version of this every year for Christmas, but she soaks her pound cake with brandy and also puts brandy in her whipped cream. We always joke with her that one bite of her trifle is like a shot of booze! Needless to say, we are very “happy” after dessert. Trifle is usually made in a big pedestal glass serving bowl so you can see all the pretty layers. But you can plate this any way you like! And this one will also have grilled angel food cake instead of pound cake for a warm, really rich and soft layer. Preheat the grill to medium. Lightly coat each slice of cake with the melted butter. (Be careful not to use too much butter as it may drip onto the coals etc. and cause flare-ups, burning the cake.) Grill the angel food cake on both sides until it has beautiful grill marks. This won’t take long. Build the trifle on a plate or glass bowl from the bottom up: cake, pudding, strawberries, cake, pudding, strawberries, whipped cream. Give a final drizzle of the Strawberry Sauce over the top.
Steakhouse Brine Grilling Directions: Combine the ingredients in a gallon-size zipper-lock bag: seal and shake until the salt and sugar dissolve, about 30 seconds. (Note: for a faster method, bring the ingredients up to a low simmer in a sauce pan. Just make sure to let the mixture cool completely before adding the meat.) Put the bag in a bowl just large enough to hold it snugly. Open the bag and add the meat. Seal the zipper, leaving about an inch open; push on the bag to release any trapped air through the opening, and close the zipper completely. Massage the liquid gently into the meat and refrigerate for the suggested time as follows: Boneless Poultry: 1 hour; Bone-in Poultry, Chops and Steaks: 2 to 3 hours; Roasts: 3 to 8 hours (depending on size)
Modern commercial balsamic vinegars (what you will likely find at your local grocery store) combine concentrated grape must with wine vinegar to speed up the acidification process. This vinegar is typically aged from 2 months to 3 years in large oak barrels. Mixing grape must with wine vinegar allows producers to make a high volume of balsamic vinegar much more efficiently than using the traditional method. Depending on the mix of sweet grape must and tart wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar can vary in its sweetness. It can range in consistency from thin to syrupy.
