5 tablespoons of chili powder

2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of soy sauce

We rubbed the ribs in this paste

We then covered them and let them rest in the fridge for 3 hrs while we made the sauce. Ingredients

close to 3 cups of blackberries (ours where fresh)
1/4 cup ketchup
2 roma tomatos
3/4 cup of honey
1/2 cup of fresh ginger

This was all put in a blender and blended

We then strained and cooked the suace till it reduced by half

taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper (and or hot sauce) as needed

The ribs were cooked on the grill at around 250-300 degrees for 2 hours We added some smoke from dried thyme and rosemary that had succumbed to the heat. Finally se basted with the sauce till they looked like this

We served it with pimiento de padron fried and served over salt

Which makes a great tapa by the way... these were from La Tienda

Even the dog got a taste of ribs

My daughter is a stickler for following the recipe and deserves all the credit on not letting me screw up.
