Short Ribs

[gacgac]

I need a spectacular short rib recipe. I had short ribs with blueberries in the sauce at Greystone in Napa Valley a few years ago and would like something similar. Please help.

Here are three ideas. The first one is a glaze that I have used with ribs. The second one I have used as sauce for duck but I would think you could reduce to glaze for ribs. The last one is actually a salad dressing but I don't see why it wouldn't work as marinade for ribs.
