Rib Marinade

[Marlene]

We are about to set off on another week of RVing. Normally, I take the ribs already marinating but I don't want to do that this time. Can I make up the marinade and keep it in the fridge for a few days?

[Jake]

I don't see why not, unless there is something in the marinade you feel might spoil? Assuming you use oil and some sort of tenderizing agent vinegar, lemon etc. I can't see any problem with making it ahead of time. If you are using fresh herbs you might want to keep those separate and add with the ribs.

I agree with Jake. And if your marinade is the kind that needs to be cooked first and cooled before using, so much the better.

[Marlene]

It's the marinade for this Rib Recipe so it doesn't have to be cooked and I can't think of anything in here that would make it spoil.

The chicken broth gives me pause, but then all the added salt and vinegar might offset it. Make it all and freeze it, use it within the day of making it, or mix all the ingredients together except the broth and add it at the last minute.

[Marlene]

Hmm, never thought about the chicken broth being a problem. I can make everything else up, then and take the broth with me to add. I'll likely use this on Sunday anyway, so it will be in the fridge for two days.

[Suzanne F]

As long as you keep it refrigerated, even with the broth mixed in there shouldn't be a problem if you'll be using it that soon.

[Jake]

I'm with Suzanne. As long as it is in the fridge it will be fine. If you are at all worried, freeze the broth, it will thaw slowly in the fridge and add it on the day you will marinate.

Have a great trip. Where will you be going?

[Marlene]

we're off to Niagara Falls. With a trip to the new Casino and a run through the wineries of course

thanks everyone!
