When it's too cold to grill outside, these ribs can be prepared indoors. They are succulent and tender, with a rich, savory sauce of brown sugar, molasses and bourbon. Serve with oven-baked beans and hot baking powder biscuits.

Changed it up just a bit due to the ingredients that I had on hand.....baked much longer (2+ hours at slightly higher temp. also), but turned out delicious. I would definately highly recommend for baby back rib lovers when grilling is not an option.
