    Lime Butter

    Roasted Corn

    Pull back the husks on your ears of corn and de-silk. Keep the husks pulled back and tie them off with extra husks. Soak these in water for 15 minutes. This will prevent them from burning when you put them on the grill.

    Take the corn to the grill; using the rosemary twigs as a brush, dip them in the Lime Butter and brush each ear of corn. (Lime Butter Recipe below.)


    Baby Back Ribs with Beer Barbecue Sauce

    Recipe courtesy Sophisticated Entertaining.

    Ingredients for Ribs:

    20 pounds of baby back pork loin spareribs
    Stout beer
    Water

    Ingredients for the Beer Barbecue Sauce:

    2 cups stout beer
    6 Tbs. light brown sugar
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    2 tsp. salt
    2 tsp. black pepper
    2 Tbs. chili pepper
    2 tsp. liquid smoke
    1/2 cup Worchester sauce
    4 cups ketchup

    Preparation:

    Place the ribs in a large stockpot. Add 1 part stout beer to 2 parts water until the ribs are covered. Parboil the ribs by bringing the liquid to boil over high heat. Then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Remove the ribs from the pot and discard the liquid.

    To make the barbecue sauce, combine all the ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature for flavors to blend.

    Brush sauce over the ribs and grill, turning the ribs over and basting with sauce every 10 minutes, until tender and browned, about 20 minutes. Ribs will be done when the meat separates from the bone about 1/2 inch on the ends and the rib backing often cracks. Cut ribs in between bones for individual portions.


    Cornbread

    Ingredients:

    Basic cornbread recipe
    2 Tbs. jalapenos added to your cornbread recipe for spicy cornbread
    Creamed corn and cheddar cheese added to basic cornbread mixture for cheesy cornbread

    Note: A basic cornbread recipe consists of cornmeal mix, buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs and salt. Recipes can be found on the back of most cornmeal mix packages.

    Note: If you like sweet cornbread, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar.

    Preparation:

    Grease the pan with butter. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until top is golden brown and the center is finished cooking. As an added treat, you can top the jalapeno muffins with a caramelized jalapeno pepper.


    Lime Butter

    Juice of 1 lime
    1 stick butter
    Ground red pepper, to taste
    Fresh rosemary twigs

    Combine the butter and lime juice in a bowl and microwave until the butter is melted. Add ground red pepper to taste and stir well. Use the rosemary twigs to brush the butter on the corn.

    Note: Preparing pulled pork takes a lot of time. If you want to provide pulled pork for sandwiches for your barbecue without all the work, purchase it from your local barbecue restaurant.

    Expert Tip: Sandy Hayes, Barbecue Expert for Buddy's Bar-B-Que, says that good side items for your barbecue would be corn on the cob, traditional baked beans, coleslaw and potato salad.
