Culinary Ambassador Michael Reed recently joined Mountain Valley at the Taste America® culinary event presented by the James Beard Foundation in Los Angeles and he brought along his incredible Peach Glazed Baby Back Rib featuring Mountain Valley White Peach Sparkling.
To say the least, these ribs were the talk of the night at this walk-around tasting event that brought together chefs, special guests, and diners from across Los Angeles to celebrate independent restaurants and the James Beard Foundation's "Good Food for Good" mission.
Michael has been kind enough to share his recipe with us, so pick up some Mountain Valley White Peach Sparkling and gather your ingredients because you're going to want to make this one before summer ends.
