Ribs for Memorial Day

May 25, 2009 | (2 comments) | Post a Comment

This Memorial Day take the party outside — official grilling season has arrived! You have months of summertime burgers and dogs ahead of you, so why not celebrate instead with a meaty, messy American classic: ribs! Your party will come together easily when you put out a platter of tender pork ribs such as baby-back, country-style or spareribs along with wet wipes for sticky faces and hands. We also have great recipes for rich beef ribs including short ribs. Whether you prefer to use rub or a bold "mop" sauce, we have more than 1,000 rib recipes from seasoned chefs. Round out your holiday meal with classic sides: potato and pasta salads, coleslaw, baked beans and a pitcher of lemonade or iced tea. This Memorial Day meal might be your first foray into the wonderful world of ribs, but after digging in, we're sure it won't be your last.
