Pork Ribs With Bourbon Whiskey Barbecue Sauce – Recipe

Summertime calls for outdoor cooking/grilling, and enjoying fun activities with family and friends.

You don’t have to wait for a special holiday or a celebration, to have a barbecue.  You do it just because you feel like taking advantage of the warm weather and cooking outdoors.  Not to mention to give your husband a chance to show off his grilling skills, while you are relaxing with a nice cold drink while chatting with everyone (which most likely happens after you set everything up for him beforehand…).

My son-in-law prepared these finger-licking barbecue ribs, and since all enjoyed them so much he let me share this recipe on my blog.
