What Beverly Carson wrote about this recipe back on April 1, 2001: "After not being able to find restaurant ribs that satisfied my hot sweet appetite, I carefully attempted various combinations of flavors until I found one that I and my family thought was perfect. Hope you enjoy them too."
INGREDIENTS:
3 lbs. pork back ribs (for after you get the following list of ingredients mixed together)...
- 12 ounces barbecue sauce
- 8 ounces of honey
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning (I found it near the raw fish section of the store)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium onion, grated OR very finely chopped
- 1/4 cup white sugar
Except for the ribs, combine the above and mix for about a minute to make sure all is evenly blended.
- Cut strip of ribs apart for easier serving. (Maybe with about three of the bone sections in each?)
- Lightly spray roasting pan with non-stick spray.
- With paper towel, dry the surface of the ribs and dip each into the above BBQ sauce mixture to coat.
- Place them into the roasting pan (single layer)-- bony side down.
- Pour remaining BBQ sauce mixture over the top.
- Cover lightly with foil.
The cook who submitted this recipe said you can use a broiler for these ribs but you would have to watch them more closely and adjust cooking time. ALSO, she said, these ribs are also great finished on the grill for a few minutes on each side.
