Spicy Oven BBQ Ribs

DH found this recipe on the internet and, of course, he tweaked it a bit to his liking. You can control the amount of "heat" by adjusting the amount of Jamaican Jerk Rub, Hot Sauce and the type of Pepper Jelly used. We used Tabasco brand pepper jelly (red in color) which is not "smokin' hot". They do take a little time to cook, but they really are finger-licking good! The original recipe stated to cook covered for 2 hours, but after cooking that long covered the meat just fell off the bones. We suggest cutting the covered cooking time back to 1 hour and just test for tenderness. The broiling step is very important to get that crispy and crusty exterior that is so delicious. Also, removing the membrane from the back of ribs is a crucial step in achieving tender ribs - it can be a little tedious, but once you get the hang of it you'll never cook ribs again without removing it. Be sure to watch closely while broiling as it doesn't take too long to burn.
