Melt in Your Mouth Ribs Recipe

Ribs glorious ribs!  This recipe is so simple and perfect for those busy nights.  Just let them slow roast in the oven for hours, and afterwards...yummy goodness!

Thank you for stopping by! Please come back and visit.

Ingredients

Preparation

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Place ribs on a large baking pan (for easier cleanup, line cookie sheet with aluminum foil).

Generously season both sides of ribs with Cherchies Select Grilling Rub and Seasoning and brown sugar. No need to measure for this recipe (wahoo!)  Make sure to place ribs fat side down in pan.

Cover pan with foil and cook for 4 hours, or until fork tested (a fancy word for using a fork to detemine if the meat is falling off the bone).  After about two hours, remove ribs from oven briefly to spoon juices over ribs.  Cover and continue cooking.

Remove from oven, allow to sit uncovered for about 5 minutes...then yummy goodness.  Mmmm!

Summer unofficially begins this weekend, and to me, nothing screams summer fun more than "food on a stick" (popsicles, corn dogs, kabobs, etc.) These quick and easy, tasty Strawberry Hot Pepper Kabobs (featuring Cherchies® Strawberry Hot Pepper Jam and Cherchies® Champagne Mustard) are perfect for kicking off the holiday weekend with your family and friends.

Stay safe, stay well, and enjoy your festivities.

Comment below and let us know if you made these delicious kabobs.

Thank you for visiting!

Come back again!

Ingredients

Preparation

Soak skewers in a shallow casserole dish 30 minutes prior to cooking.

On a large plate, season both sides of chicken with Cherchies Garlic Seasoning and pepper.  Set aside. In the meantime, spray grill with cooking spray, light grill, and turn gril onto high.

While the grill is warming, core and cut pineapple into chunks and cut chicken into cubes.  Skewer chicken, pineapple, and tomatoes onto skewers.  ( I usually put the vegetables and fruit on seperate skewers, due to the differnt cooking times).  Turn grill down to low.  Place chicken on grill and cook for a few minutes on each side.

After the chicken has cooked for a few minutes, add the pineapple skewers to the grill, and cook for a few minutes on each side.  If you've never had grilled pineapple, you're in for a real treat!  All the sugars in the pineapple come to life, for flavors that will make your taste buds tingle.

The tomatoes are the last to enter the grill, since they don't take as long to cook.  (They look pretty with grill marks).

While the kabobs are cooking, make the glaze.  Combine champagne mustard and pepper jam in a small bowl.  As kabobs are finishing cooking, brush half of the glaze onto the kabobs, reserving the rest for the presentation at the end.

Remove chicken, pineapple, and tomatoes from the grill and set aside to absorb all the juices.  Serve over rice seasoned with Cherchies Garlic'n Herbs No Salt Seasoning (optional).  Brush skewers with remaining glaze.  Dinner is served! Enjoy.

Cherry Hot Pepper Bruschetta Recipe

Red, white, and bleu:)  Summer cherries make my mouth salivate, and this recipe is perfect as a quick appetizer or a snack.  The hot pepper jam adds a nice kick to the cherries.  If you would prefer a sweeter version of this recipe, without the kick, then try our Strawberry or Cherry Butters.

Who says you have to save this for guests?  Treat yourselves to these little morsels...go ahead, it's ok:)

Ingredients

Preparation

Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch slices and set aside.  Turn the grill on to high, allowing the grill to heat up for 5 minutes, then turn grill down to low.  Place baguette slices on grill and brown for a few minutes on each side. The bread will be slightly toasted on each side but yet soft in the middle...a perfect base for the bruschetta mixture.

Doesn't that look pretty?  Next, pit the cherries and coarsely chop.

In a medium bowl, mix the cherries with the Cherchies Cherry Hot Pepper Jam.  You could stop right here and just eat spoonfuls of this glorious mixture.  But wait, there's more!

The assembly...Make sure to do this just as guests arrive.  Lay the grilled bread slices on a platter. Generously top the grilled baguette slices with the cherry mixture.  Then, sprinkle the slices with the blue cheese and almonds.  Heaven!  Enjoy.

Ingredients

Preparation

Turn the Grill onto high to heat up, then when grill is ready, turn down to low.

Sprinkle Cherchies Pepper Pizzazz Seasoning generously over both sides of the steak, pressing the seasoning blend into the meat.  While grill is firing up, allow meat to sit out for a bit to absorb the flavors.

Grill steaks for about 5-8 minutes on one side, depending on thickness and your "pink"  preference, and then flip the steaks over to finish grilling.  Take steaks off grill and allow them to rest for about 8 minutes.

But then it gets even better...ADD BUTTER! You heard me right.

After the meat has rested, slice it up!  Serve it with our Strawberry Salad, and you have a lovely warm weather (or cold;) meal.  Enjoy!
