• Total Time: 3 hrs 35 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 3 hrs 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 6 lbs pork baby back ribs
• 2 cups water

Sauce

• 1 cup white vinegar
• ½ cup tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard
• ¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• 2 garlic cloves , minced
• ¼ teaspoon paprika
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
2. Cut the rib slabs in half, leaving 6 to 8 ribs per section. In a large roasting pan, arrange the ribs evenly, then add the water. Cover the pan tightly with a lid or foil to prevent steam from escaping. Bake for 3 hours.
3. About 2 hours into the baking time, make the sauce. In a large saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients. Simmer over low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
4. Prepare the coals in a barbecue. Remove the ribs from the roasting pan. Discard the water.
5. Cover the ribs with the sauce, saving about 1 1/2 cups of the sauce for later use at the table. Grill the ribs on the barbecue for about 5 minutes per side, or until slightly charred.
6. Serve with the remaining sauce and lots of paper towels or moist towelettes.
7. ***ALTERNATE SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS: Place the ribs in a slow cooker, pouring the sauce over. Let cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the meat is very tender.
