What a wonderful flavour...we enjoyed our babyback ribs this way. I halved the recipe but only used an 1/8th of a cup of salt. It was raining so I baked them in the oven at 325 for 2 hrs. They turned out beautifully, tender, moist, juicy and hot...very spicy, but oh so good...thanks so much for sharing ellie. I can't wait to try this on the bbq.

ellie I am only doing comments here as I only had country ribs not spareribs. The amount of sugar made my grill a mess, and even on low the outside burned like crazy. I moved them to the off side and indirectly baked them but found they were getting too dry, so I wrapped them in foil and steamed them with apple juice. The did tender up nicely and were very tasty, and I did put BBQ sauce on them also. I will do these again when I have spareribs and hopefully they will work as the recipes states. Thanks!
