Summertime is Festival Time

Summertime in New Jersey is the time for festivals of all kinds. Sussex County is no different and this month is the 15th annual Rock, Ribs and Ridges. It will be held on Friday June 27th and run until Sunday June 29th at the Sussex County Fairgrounds.

Rock is a reference to their extensive line-up of bands.

Ribs is just that good, ole BBQ…brisket, pulled pork and more surprises… oh my!

Ridges, I’m guessing, is the beautiful terrain of our Skylands Region and the opportunity to camp if you choose for the festival. I understand that they have after hours rock karaoke each night after the last band plays for those who can’t get enough.

Pulled directly from the Rock, Ribs & Ridges Facebook page is a recipe for ribs. They choose the low and slow route. How do you like to prepare your ribs? Tell us in the comments section below.

Smokin’ good ribs!

Here’s our no fail rib recipe that hits harder than a drum solo:

1. Rub: Brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper.

2. Wrap & Bake: 275°F for 2.5 hrs (foil wrapped, meat side down).

3. Grill & Glaze: Unwrap, brush with your fave BBQ sauce, grill 5-10 min for that sticky finish.
