Sauce was very flavorful and different (I used orange juice but no hot sauce). I made 1/2 of the recipe and used 1/2 of that to cover 4 pounds of ribs as they cooked in crock pot for 8 hours. The portion I reserved was quite yummy made into the sauce I used for the "pulled pork" I had when the ribs were done cooking.

Fantastic! These were wonderful and we'll definitely make them again although perhaps instead of marinating them I'll just toss them in the crockpot for 4-6 hours.. Made them with Paula Deen's Potato Bacon salad and it was fantastic! Thanks for posting.

I usually boil my ribs in beer and spices, and then put them on the grill to finish them. So this was new to me, to grill to completion! My hubby and I both loved the ribs, they were so tender! My bbq kept a temo of about 400*, and I basted the ribs towards the end with the bbq sauce. I loved the sauce! I scaled it down for just teh 2 of us. Didn't have ginger or garlic poweder...just used garlic. Everything else was the same. The sauce was aswesom, going to make some for some chick too! Thanks

Love this marinade/barbecue sauce! Fruity, spicy, and interesting! (Well, actually, I left out the horseradish because I'm not fond of it - and it was even good without it!) Grilled them on the barbecue just as you suggested...mmmmm! Thanks.

Wonderful wonderful rib recipe. I often avoid making ribs because they never turn out for me but these were excellent. Had to substitute cider vinegar for white due to my allergy, used dijon mustard, grated ginger & Braggs instead of soy sauce. I found the sauce a bit strong for the rice but was wonderful for the ribs. I doubled the recipe and have frozen chicken legs in the sauce. Ready when we are to cook :). Thanks much !
