So I thought I ruined them and overcooked them or boil them too long or something. So I covered them in tinfoil that put them back in the oven at 300 for 20 or 30 minutes and dang! Definitely fall off the bone! So happy I saved them LOL -
Have you saved the liquid from boiling the ribs? I was thinking of doing that... not sure what I'd use it for but I'm sad to dump it out lol

Do you use yellow table mustard, like you would put on a sandwich?? Do you use the onion when baking the ribs, or do you chop a fresh onion?
-
So do I have to remove the white skin off the ribs before boiling? -
So when you boil the ribs with large onion what do you do with the onion?

This was easy to make and my family loved it. I used 5 lbs of ribs, boiled for 1 hour and baked at 425 for 35 minutes. -
When a lowfat queen decides to go hog wild, she needs a very easy recipe. Have not cooked ribs in years but recently began to crave them. Did not want to go through the trouble of making sauce from scratch but wanted more than the sauce from the bottle. Made a half batch of this using country-style ribs and got easy and fabulous. At the chef's suggestion, I cut the parboil time to 30 minutes. My sauce used spicy brown mustard in lieu of yellow, and my sauce of choice was Kraft's Bold n' Spicy. The meat was soo tender, it was really falling off the bone tender and moist. The sauce was alsoa wonderful blendof sweet and spicy - just what you want in BBQ. I had lots of sauce left over and plan to use it in cookings some chickn breasts.

I substituted 2 tablespoons of pomegranate molasses for the 2 tablespoons of honey the 3rd time I used the recipe. But this recipe is the only one I use for ribs. Delish!!!!!!!!!1

I followed the recipe's directions with the exception of substituting pineapple juice and a splash of vinegar (as recommended by "CorkeeCook") for the meat tenderizer. I actually soaked the ribs in the pineapple juice for 3 hrs before boiling/simmering. Unfortunately, in the end, the meat stuck to the bones and was a pretty rubbery. Don't know how my results were so much different from the others, since I followed the preparation directions... Going to try recipe #283936 instead next time. I'm guessing the ribs need to be cooked at a lower temperature for longer.
