Strawberry Rhubarb BBQ Ribs Recipe

Strawberry Rhubarb BBQ Ribs is something @Themontagne.Bbq highly recommends trying! Here is his easy to follow recipe:

What you'll need:

• Pork Ribs (St. Louis or baby back)
• Beard Butcher Blend Seasoning Chipotle
• Bearded Butcher Blend BBQ Sauce (now in a new 21.5oz squeeze bottle!)
• 1lb diced Rhubarb
• 1lb diced strawberries
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

Here's how to make it:

1. In a heavy saucepan over medium heat add water and sugar, mix and dissolve sugar into water.
2. Add in Rhubarb and simmer for 15 minutes or until tender.
3. Add in strawberries and simmer on medium/low heat for another 10 minutes. Using a heavy-duty whisk or masher, mash & combine everything to a smooth consistency.
4. Simmer for an additional 20 minutes then reduce in half, stirring occasionally.
5. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. The sauce should thicken up – you can cover and place it in the refrigerator to speed this up.
6. Trim and season your ribs with Chipotle and cook using your favorite method. I went with the 3-2-1 method on my Ironwood 885 using their signature blend pellets.
7. Sauce the ribs for the last 15-20 minutes of the cook time.

**TIP: For your sauce I found a 2-1 ratio tastes the best. That's 2 parts of the strawberry Rhubarb sauce to 1 part BBQ sauce.

Any extra strawberry Rhubarb sauce left over makes for a great topping over ice cream or other various desserts!
