Grape Juice

[Al Smith]

Anyone ever use the purple grape juice to spritz spare ribs while cooking? Would it be OK? Did a search and did not find anything conclusive.

Hey Al, dont see why not? Use whatever taste good to you! Let us know how it turns out.

If you can use apple juice why not? On another forum, a guy was using grape jelly in his BBQ sauce. He said it turned out good.

Apple juice is clear and does not alter the
coloring of the ribs. I wonder if the pigment
in purple grape juice would alter the color of
the ribs?

I just finished eating them. I didn't have any apple juice on hand, but did have purple grape juice. That's why the question on purple grape juice. I only spritzed once with the purple grape juice. Then wife found a bottle of white grape juice(you know the juice is actually light yellow) so I used that when I foiled them. Seems like the purple grape juice has a stronger taste than the white. Anyway, THE RIBS WERE GREAT! Will be eating them again tomorrow. Thanks.

Purplish Ribs? Why not? BBQ is FUN FOOD so have fun with it. But not at a contest - strange color might put some folks off
