Barbecued Baby-Back Ribs
This is a recipe from RecipeZaar, a wonderful on-line resource for great recipes. I substituted country style ribs for baby-back ribs and rather than boil them I cooked them in the crock pot until they were fort tender. The barbecue sauce is what makes them great, so if ribs aren’t your style try chicken instead.
Ingredients
6 Country Style Ribs
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke (you can find this in the ketchup aisle)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Place the ribs in a crock pot with 1/3 cup water and cook on low until fork tender (about 3 hours). Mix the remaining ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes. While sauce is simmering, heat the grill and place the ribs on the grill without the sauce and grill for about 2 minutes. Coat the ribs with the sauce and grill for another 5 - 7 minutes or until completely warmed through.
Quick Tips
For sauces such as this barbecue sauce, mix the ingredients together the night before and store in an airtight container over night. Add this easy prep to your family calendar, so you don’t forget.
