BBQ Ribs - a Little Sweet, a Little Tangy

Submitted by Chef Dee

"We love BBQ ribs, especially homemade. I took a copycat recipe and made some changes that gives the sauce a sweet tangy flavor. I always make extra sauce so I can keep pouring over the ribs as they are roasting."

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 5

ingredients

• 5 lbs pork baby back ribs
• 2 cups ketchup
• 1⁄3 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1⁄2 cup packed brown sugar
• 6 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons chili powder

directions

1. Cut the ribs into smaller segments, then simmer for one hour until tender.
2. Combine the sauce ingredients in a saucpan and bring them to a boil.
3. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 min's.
4. Place meat side down in roast pan, brush with the sauce.
5. Bake uncovered for 30 mins at 325.
6. Turn the ribs over and brush again with the sauce, return to oven for another 20 min's.
7. Brush more sauce on the ribs, return to the oven for another 10 min's.

I made these for our superbowl party and they were a huge hit. I will never buy prepackaged ribs again!!! I also made up some of the bbq sauce for little smokies in the crockpot. Fabulous as well. Great recipe

I agree - these ribs are awesome! The ingredients complimented and made for a wonderful sauce. Other then having to sub the liquid smoke with a couple tablespoons of Hickory BBQ sauce I made as posted and we too were sampling before they got to the table! The aroma alone worth a five- the taste absolutely delicious.

Dee,these ribs were AWESOME...The sauce had the right amount of "tang" and was simply delicious...I browned them up under the broiler like you suggested and the kids started to devour them before I could even get them to the table *lol* I guess the smell was just too much for them.....Thanks for a great recipe,Dee!!
