As the center of Southern barbecue, Memphis offers sauces that occupy the middle ground between other styles. These blends provide moderate amounts of sweet, heat, and tang, which add up to a lot of flavor.
My favorite branding time food is barbecue brisket. I usually cook brisket in the oven all night, but this time I stuck it in my slow cooker and six hours later it was so tender, juicy, and delicious.
These ribs are unique because of the spicy rub and the combination of sweet brown sugar and spicy jalapeno peppers in the sauce. I always make them for my husband's birthday. —Shirley Manthey, Omaha, Nebraska
