A great looking set of ribs indeed!
For those that are not familiar with Big Red Soda - it is a sort of regional thing. When I was a kid - my Mom would find solace from my testing her patience in the dog days of hot Texas summer afternoons with a tall, cold Big Red. ( Tho I am a reasonably certain that hers may have been chemically fortified with vodka - errr - "nerve medicine"
)
Big Red - as best as I can describe it...is like the love-child of a strawberry soda and a cream soda. Very unique, and I can see a great potential for completion ribs using this glaze, and fast grilling some big fat strawberry slices for a , then glaze them with a variation of this glaze (perhaps leaving out the salt and cayenne...maybe not - let your tastebuds decide
) as an "anything but" sort of dessert...or as a side pairing with the ribs for a lasting impression on your dinner guests, etc...
Really a great post and thread Kona!
Kudos!
