Barbeque Pork Ribs

These ribs are so tender and delicious!! Make sure you have plenty of napkins at the table! These ribs are incredibly easy to make, they just have to cook for several hours. I make the barbecue sauce after the ribs are in the oven and then brush on the sauce after the ribs are already cooked. When I make these ribs, it is usually someones birthday or a family get together. The recipe is large, bur can easily be halved.

Ribs
4 racks of pork or beef ribs
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil

Wash ribs thoroughly, then pat dry with paper towel. Rub salt and pepper on both sides of ribs. Wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Place in a large roaster (or a pan that is deep enough so the juices do not overflow into the oven). Bake at 275 F for 4-41/2 hours.

Barbecue Sauce
1 cup ketchup
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup dark Karo syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon tobasco
1/4 cup brown sugar
Stir all ingredients together in a medium saucepan until boiling. Reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes or until thick.
Take cooked ribs out of oven and remove foil. Brush barbecue sauce liberally over both sides of the ribs. Cook on charcoal or gas grill just until the top of the ribs are carmelized. Just a little side note......once you make these, your family will beg for them on a regular basis. I try to buy these ribs when they go on sale and you can freeze them for up to six months in a deep freeze. Enjoy!!
