Spareribs with Blackberry Sauce




By Morty

Morty often likes to grill, and when he does,
this recipe, of  tender spareribs brushed
with a sweet delicious blackberry sauce,
is one of his favorite dishes to treat his family and friends to.
So one Sunday afternoon, when his shop was closed,
Morty went below to the tunnels to help his old friend William prepare this dish.
Together, they rigged up an indoor grill,
which was placed near a grated outlet,
for appropriate ventilation.
Everyone had fun watching these two men  prepare
this delicious recipe for the entire tunnel community.

In a blender

1/4 cup each

and minced fresh ginger

and 1/2 teaspoon salt
