Rib Glaze Experiment...

[M38A1]

Sad to see the strawberry rhubarb jalapeno going away after this weekends rib cook.

As an experiment, I cooked up three racks of spares on Trinity yesterday. All three started with a base of "Wild". One was left with "Wild" only, the next was glazed with the strawberry-rhubard jalapeno, and the third was glazed with a Fischer-Weise mango ginger habanaro. All three cooked the same for 7.25 hours at 225*F and were moist and flavorful. Glazing was done for 60 minutes on the two racks.

RSTCSO, Don_Tortillia and myself each started with the "Wild" only, then moved to the strawberry-rhubard, then finished with the mango ginger. Two of the three opted for strawberry-rhubarb with one going for the mango ginger. We all agreed the base rib was good, but the glaze just made it 'mo better.

Then, we invited 3 other people to come over. Each started with a "Wild" only, then moved to the strawberry-rhubarb, and finished with the mango ginger. Of those three, two agreed the strawberry was the better of the three with one again leaning towards the mango ginger but favoring the strawberry-rhubarb so I still gave it to the mango ginger 'cause it wasn't 100%.

Sad to see it going, but we had three 'experienced' rib cook/eaters as well as three outside guests who had never eaten our cooking and the strawberry rhubard jalapeno seems to have been the better based on observations.

I'm just glad Craig is willing to still make it up in small batches.

Too bad we didn't have a half dozen or more jellies/finishing glazes on-hand to experiment with :roll: . Just what we needed. More excuses to eat more ribs :shock: . Too bad DaHorns wife made him come home... I mean, too bad Chris left before the ribs were done 8) .

BTW, I'm eating chopped brisket/sliced sausage with tortillas (they're raw... where's Don_Tortilla when you need him?) for lunch as I type with greasy fingers :twisted: .

Who would have ever known that mango/ginger/habanero sauce would taste so damn good on a breakfast taco too? MMMmmm MMMmmm MMMmmm........I was seeing sausage wraps in my sleep the last 2 nights, among other things, right scott!!!

The breakfast tacos were great!

So, if Karen were to call to see if we'd help again and if I choose not to help, do you want me to give her your number, Chris?

Everyone ... please remember this ... and dont forget it ...

Just because I am taking it off the web site does not mean that you will not be able to get it.

All I am asking for is a minimum order to make it.

To date, all those that would like to see it stay have been pretty vocal, but NOBODY has ordered any or asked what the minimum order will be.

So with that in mind it gives you a little bit of insight why it is leaving ....

But in case your serious ... the plan is to make it only in 6.5 oz jars when special ordered and the minimu purchase would be 6 jars. Also would need to allow a few extra days to make and ship.

Now let me know what ya'll think ...... as if your not going to anyway :roll: :roll:

I think if you had several "seasonal" products it might even spark additional interest. I know I can't wait for egg nog season to begin each November. Hey that's a great idea, Egg Nog Jalapeno Jelly! :wink:

Craig-
Yeah, I knew you'd make up special order batches. That's why I put the last sentence in my original post. :wink: I'm thinking I like the color of the end product the strawberry a bit more than with the pineapple. A really rich, deep red. Mmmmmm......

I hate to say this around here... :oops: , but I have been bad about looking at my stash of TPJ and re-ordering. I'll have to do it real soon.

Texana, is there any left in the larger jars at TPJ-land?
