Recipe For Cooking Baby Back Ribs

These baby back ribs are tender and full of delicious barbecue flavor. The secret is to first boil them, then brush with barbecue sauce, and then crisp under the broiler. Yummy.

Ingredients:

3 lbs. pork baby back ribs - cut in 2-4 sections
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 Tbls. dark brown sugar
3 Tbls. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. liquid smoke
1/2 tsp. salt

Cooking Instructions:

Place ribs in a large pot and fill pot with enough water to cover ribs. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour, or until ribs are fork tender.

While ribs are boiling, combine remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring often, for 30 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

Place boiled ribs, meat side down, on a broiler pan.

Brush with half the sauce mixture and broil 4"-5" from heat for 6-7 minutes.
Turn ribs over, brush with remaining sauce, and broil additional 6-7 minutes, or until edges are slightly charred.

Liquid Smoke is a natural flavoring used to add a smoky flavor to foods. The product is produced by burning hardwood chips and condensing the smoke into a liquid form. It is readily available in the U.S. in the spice or condiment aisle of a grocery store. There is no substitute for this ingredient; if you don't have it, simply omit it.
