Orange BBQ Baby Back Ribs
Pairs perfectly with a blush wine such as Rosé.
“I avoid long and complicated recipes during the summer months (I'd rather be out by the pool with my family!), so I came up with this easy citrus twist on barbecue. The orange adds a subtle, deliciously fresh flavor. I also use the sauce when I make chicken fondue."
