DIY Killer Spicy Sweet Babyback Ribs

Tom and I are purists when it comes to cooking. We wouldn't think of using a prepared barbecue sauce. It's so easy to make your own sauce! Since we like a lot of flavor, ours tends to be a bit spicy. We've been making variations of this sauce for many years! It's always our favorite, even though we've made and published many other sauces and rubs for barbecued ribs. Whenever we think about a new sauce, we realize it's hard to beat this one! So here's the latest version of a tried and true killer recipe for baby back ribs.

Makes:             1 rack of baby back ribs
Prep Time:       20 minutes plus overnight marinading
Cooking Time:  40 minutes

INGREDIENTS:
1 rack of baby back pork ribs, about 2-3 pounds
Marinade:
1 t dried coriander
1 t black peppercorns, cooked until smoking then ground in a spice grinder.
1 T crushed garlic
1 t sriracha
¼ C ketchup
1½ T brown sugar 
1 T molasses
1 t orange juice concentrate 
1 T cider vinegar
1 T low sodium soy sauce
Pinch of red pepper flakes

PREPARATION:
Before Cooking:
A. Before marinating the ribs, remove the white membrane on the underside of the ribs. Start the removal with a sharp knife then use a paper towel to grab it and simply pull it off. 
B. Mix all the marinade ingredients and pour over ribs in a flat casserole dish. If you have any extra marinade, don't pour it on and save it for after the ribs are cooked.
C. Marinate the ribs for at least 1 hour; but preferably for several hours or overnight before cooking.
Cooking:
1. Spray the BBQ grill rack with oil so the ribs won’t stick. Place ribs on the grill, bone side down over low to medium heat; about 300*F.
2. Cook for about 20 minutes; and when the ribs start getting burnt on the underside, place them on aluminum foil so they cook but don’t burn. Cook for another 20 minutes or so until done. A cut next to a bone will show no red.
3. Cut into individual ribs and serve hot with the side dish of your choice. For tonight's dinner we're grilling some corn on the cob. YUM!!!

Bon appetit,
Tom and Anita
