BBQ Pork Ribs
Directions
Preheat the oven to 250°F.
Season the ribs well with salt and pepper and add them to a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 90 minutes. Pour off any abundance of grease that has collected in the pan.
Meanwhile, combine all of the BBQ sauce ingredients in a saucepan and slowly bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer until dark, thick, and richly flavored 10 to 15 minutes.
At the end of the first 90 minutes, increase the oven temperature up to 350 degrees F. Then turn the ribs over and baste them with BBQ sauce.
Continue basting in 30-minute intervals, turning the ribs each time you baste with sauce. Once the ribs are tender, baste them one more time and then move them under the broiler. Broil the ribs for a minute or two just to caramelize the sauce. The sugars in the sauce can char fast so be sure to stay close to the oven during the broiling process.
