First attempt at trimming spares

ResQue · February 2010

I don't think they came out too bad for a beginner. Thanks to thirdeye for having that pictorial on your site. As I was saying, not perfect, but hopefully close enough. What do you all think?

The trimmed spares:

And the trimmings:

Now to rub and let rest while I go get some adult beverages.

Excellent job.

What are you planning to do with the trimmings?

ResQue · February 2010

Don't know yet. Might freeze them and cook them another day or throw them on with the spares and save them for something. thinking tamales or enchiladas.

Pig Candy. Cut them into thin slices rub with 50/50 cayenne and brown sugar and cook alongside the ribs. Mmmmmmm good.

That's sounds good. i think I'll try that. Thanks.

They'll be done before the ribs, nice afternoon snack. Take em off when they get pliable, and be carefull the sugar gets hot and sticky.

Any thoughts on slow cooking baby back beef ribs

I hope you kept the trimmings to cook rib tips or even better, pull all the bone out and grind up into sausage....makes for a good eat and already has a great fat to meat ratio....

Third Eye would be proud. Good job and enjoy the spoils of your labors.

Thanks everyone! I think I will take your advice and do pig candy and sausage. Thanks again.

ResQue · February 2010

I kept the trimmings. I will make pig candy out of the skirt and sausage out of the rib tips. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks Ross.

Good job on those spares. What are you going to make with the trimmings? I like making carnitas with them.

ResQue · February 2010

pig candy and sausage. Man, I love carnitas. Do you have a recipe you can share?

fine lookin spares

i rub the trimmings extra sweet and smoke alongside...they cook faster, so i chop them, honey and sauce them, and put them back in in foil after about 2-3 hours.

the 'rib tips' get eaten quicker than the ribs around here.
