396. Summer bbq is a favorite for our family and ribs on the grill tops the list. Last year I ventured into creating a blackberry bbq sauce for ribs and we loved it. So, last week when plums began to come into harvest in California, I was fortunate to be the receiver of several pounds of fresh picked plums. Several cups of small wild plums and several pounds of red plums. Ribs were on the menu for Father's Day and a Plum BBQ Sauce was in the works. Here is my process and recipe...
The consistency of the sauce will thicken the longer you simmer it. You want it to be thick enough to stick to the ribs.
The flavor was tangy, fruity and savory and complemented the ribs very well. Serving this sauce with goat cheese or blue cheese on a salad or stuffed in a mushroom was perfect. This experiment payed off so well. Thanks Teri for the plums!!

"The rose is a rose, and was always a rose. But the theory now goes that the apple's a rose, and the pear is, and so's the plum, I suppose. The dear only knows what will next prove a rose. You, of course, are a rose - but were always a rose."
