I know that everyone says this, but I promise you, once you try this recipe, you will never go back...I just had this for our Memorial Day BBQ with black beans and macaroni and cheese... YUM-O!
Ingredients:
RIBS:
2-6 lbs of BABY BACK ribs (you can use any cut, but I think the baby back are the only way to go)
water
salt and pepper
SAUCE (you can use your own recipe, or your favorite bottle, but I SWEAR once you try this tangy recipe, you will be hooked. I have been told on many of occasion, these are the best ribs they ever had):
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup maple syrup (get the real stuff, not pancake syrup)
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
2-3 teaspoons of adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers (freeze what you don't use)...I use the can shown on left.
Directions:
Season your ribs with salt and pepper. Place seasoned ribs in a shallow baking dish. Pour 1 - 2 inches of water in the bottom of the baking dish. Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 2 hours.
While your ribs bake, prepared your BBQ sauce by combining all the ingredients, and stirring well. I always double my sauce when I cook 4 or more pounds, but I like my ribs SAUCY!
Once your ribs are done baking, baste both sides with 1/3 of your sauce. Now it's time to move to the grill. Place the ribs on the grill, low heat, for 5 minutes (lid closed). Open the lid, apply 1/3 more of your sauce, close lid and cook 5 more minutes. Repeat once more, and now your ribs are done...
Savvy Tip: Give everyone an extra bowl (salad size) for the bones. This way the have plenty of room on their plates for side. We call it a Bone Bowl!

Happy Memorial Day and remember:
Freedom isn't free. Thank you to all the men and women of our armed forces. Because of you, my family and I are free. As everyone celebrates and BBQs today, please remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice so you can be who you are! Happy Memorial to all and thank you to all of you whose family members fight for my freedom everyday! A very special thank you to my DH who is an Air Force Veteran and to my BIL who continues to fight for our freedom everyday. We love you and thank you!
