The Backyard BBQ

What would summer be without that big family BBQ in the back yard? Whenever I come home during the summer it has to happen and this year was no exception. It was quite special this year because my nephew Chris was taking care of the meat. He and a friend had built a new BBQ and were perfecting their BBQ skills so Chris picked up the meat he wanted to prepare and I set it up for the grill. We smothered the prime rib with garlic butter and herbs, then put the fat cap back on and tied it up. Three pork roasts were seasoned differently, one with Chinese 5 spice, one rubbed with my Northern Smoke spice rub and believe it or not, I can't remember what we seasoned the last one with. We basted the 5 spice rubbed roast with pomegranate molasses during the last half hour or so and that was the best. Grilled garlic chicken sausage from Hilltop Farms and garlic butter soaked grilled corn rounded out the meal. It was one of those meals that seems to taste better when all the family was around to enjoy it. Way to go Chris! We did a pretty spectacular job!
