Simply Delicious Hamptons BBQ
After a long day at the beach, it is so nice to come home for an easy friends and family dinner full of simple indulgences like ribs and ice cream! Being Texans, we love all types of BBQ , especially these delicious Plum Glazed Ribs (from Niman Ranch). This rib recipe is one of our absolute favorites and is always a crowd pleaser! We have paired it with an easy drinking full bodied Malbec from Lenz winery on the North Fork of Long Island. This wine is full of juicy plum flavors that perfectly compliments the rib sauce. What better way to finish off some ribs than with homemade ice cream! Joe and Liza’s ice cream is made locally in the Hamptons and is totally creamy and delicious! (You can buy it at Bay Burger in Sag Harbor… our favorite flavor is cookie jar)
This meal is totally Simply Chic… Hamptons Style. Keep Life Delicious!

Plum Glazed Ribs
Ingredients
Ingredients
1 rack uncooked Spare Ribs
1 cup Plum Jam, or substitute Apricot, Grape or Peach Jam
3 – 6 cloves Garlic, depending on your preference
1 inch piece of fresh Ginger Root, finely grated
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Chili Flakes (optional)
Juice of half a lemon, with a little zest
Salt and pepper the ribs. Heat your grill to medium-high, about 400 degrees, then grill the ribs until you see grill marks. Turn the heat down to low-medium, about 200 degrees, and cook until the meat starts to shrink around the bones, approximately 1.5 hours. Flip the ribs every 20 minutes during this time.
While the ribs are cooking, combine all the other ingredients in a mixing bowl. Whisk until mixed well and set aside.
When the meat has shrunk around the bones to the point of almost coming out, cover the ribs with the plum glaze. Cook on each side for 3-5 minutes, careful not to let the glaze burn.
Remove from the grill and serve with fried rice or salad immediately.
