(photo/Scott Nixon cooking with memories BY DEBBY WAGLER I WANTED TO INCLUDE SOME TIPS FOR BBQ-ING SINCE WE DO SO MUCH OF IT DURING THE SPRING, SUMMER AND FALL. 1 HAVE LEARNED A FEW THINGS THAT MAKE MEATS TASTE AND COOK BETTER AND WOULD LIKE TO DONATE THIS COLUMN THIS WEEK TO SHARING THESE. SPARERIBS When cooking spareribs on the BBQ we like to slow roast them for about 3 hours in a roasting pan of apple juice. My sister-in-law uses beer. The meat takes on a very tender and tasty flavor and needs to be only heated through on the BBQ with a favorite sauce. I have taken the meat and marinated it overnight after cooking it in the BBQ sauce of my choice and the meat is set to serve in less than 1/2 hour. CHICKEN We have experimented a lot with chicken because we eat a lot of it! The one trick that we tend to stick to is wrapping 4 or so pieces of chicken in double layers of foil with the marinade or a BBQ sauce. Cooking it and turning it frequently and then only removing it a few minutes before ready to serve make for moist and not burned meat! 1 do this with frozen chicken or thawed and test it for being cooked before putting it to the open grill. (Thawed can take 20-30 min, frozen can take 30-45 min depending on size.) SAUSAGE Sausage can have a lot of grease to deal with when cooking over the open fire. One way to help with this is to boil sausages (farmer type) first in a pot of boiling water. You can wrap some of it when you buy it on sale and then freeze it on a cookie sheet, bag it after frozen and cook as needed. It makes the sausage less greasy and assures you it is cooked. FISH Fish cooks easily and can crumble depending on the type of fish and thickness of the filet. We have done it almost exclusively in double layers of tinfoil with fresh slices of lemon, fresh herbs (like thyme, garlic and pepper) and a dollop of butter. Randy enjoys it done this way and 1 try to eat a bit or two but I am not a big fish fan. This cooks quickly and must be removed from the tinfoil carefully as it will probably flake. THESE ARE A FEW IDEAS THAT HOPEFULLY GET YOU GOING ON THE BBQ! HAVE FUN AND REMEMBER TO EXPERIMENT! .. 1 ATV found BLUEWATER — On May 18 a citizen contacted OPP over a found piece of property.
