But I already posted leftovers once for One Local Summer. It would seem like a cop-out to do it again. So here's something completely new and, if I do say so myself, representative of the very best Georgia has to offer.
Earlier this year we froze a big batch of the blackberry barbecue sauce from this recipe. Putting it up beforehand makes cooking the ribs a snap. And today was cool and rainy--¡Hola, Ernesto!--so I didn't hesitate to bake a giant rack of ribs from our Dyal Farms half-pig.
Meanwhile, I boiled a few cobs of corn that the s.o. froze during July while I was traveling. And we topped off the meal with the year's first luscious scuppernong grape pie. (The secret I learned today: Put foil all around the edges of the pie and bake it way longer than you think you need to. Finally the grape hulls will soften. And then--bliss.)
I am really proud of this week's meal. I think it's some of my best work! (The photos are uninspired. But can't you just smell the pork ribs?)
Here's where it all came from.
