Pork Ribs

I hit a great sale on country style boneless pork ribs a while ago. Found a fantastic recipe, made it for the family. Then I lost the recipe. Trent threatened divorce unless I found it again. Ahh, I feel the love. Glad I found it so my husband will stay with me now. *pssshhh! whatever!* Who would feed him :) Love you honey.

Boneless Pork Ribs (also works with bone in Spare Ribs)

6 - 9 lbs pork ribs, boneless
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup salt
2 1/2 Tbsp black pepper
3 Tbsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne
2 Tbsp garlic powder

Combine these ingredients and rub liberally into ribs, place in roasting pan (do yourself a favor and use a disposable one). Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours. Longer is ok too.

Preheat oven to 250. Bake ribs uncovered for 3-4 hours. Start the sauce (below), it has to simmer 1 hour.

Sauce:
5 Tbsp pan drippings
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 cups ketchup
3 cups hot water
4 Tbsp brown sugar
2-3 drops liquid smoke
1/2 tsp accent (optional)
2 Tbsp chili powder
To Taste, Add (what we add): Cayenne (1/2 tsp), salt (we don't add here), pepper (1/4 to 1/2 tsp) t

Remove drippings into saucepan, saute onion in pan drippings until brown and soft. Stir in ketchup, heat 3-4 minutes. Stirring constantly, mix in water and brown sugar. Season to taste with cayenne, salt pepper, liquid smoke, accent, and chili powder. Simmer one hour to reduce, add water if necessary to thin.

Grill ribs. This is the man's job, but what he tells me he does it heats the grill on high to dlean it and get it nice and hot, then scrapes it for anything left-over from last time, turns grill to LOW, sprays with Pam (careful here, we don't want any Micheal Jackson hair-flaming episodes here), puts the ribs on, bastes with lots of the sauce, cooks for 5-7 minutes, flips, resauce, 5-7 minutes. done....... Sticky, spicy, sweet ribs.
