Yields1 Serving
Prep Time30 minsCook Time4 hrs 30 minsTotal Time5 hrs
MEAT:
 4 Country-style pork ribs , Baby back ribs or Spare ribs
SPICE RUB:
 ½ cup Chili powder
 3 tbsp Freshly ground pepper
 4 tbsp Sugar
 3 tbsp Coarse salt
 2 tbsp Paprika
 HINT: You can mix double and triple batches of rub and keep in a jar for future use.
BBQ SAUCE:
 1 cup Ketchup (Hunts has no high fructose corn syrup)
 0.51 cup Red wine vinegar or tarragon vinegar (depending on your taste preference and the strength of your vinegar)
 ½ cup Molasses
 2 tsp Sugar
 ½ tsp Coarse salt
 ¼ tsp Garlic powder or 2 large cloves, minced
 ¼ tsp Onion powder (or 2 tsp finely chopped onion)
 ¼ tsp Tobasco sauce (we like Frank’s Hot Sauce; go lightly if you do not like things really hot!)
 HINT: We often make a triple batch and freeze some for use another time.
1

Mix rub ingredients together and smear over all surfaces of meat, wrapping meat rather tightly in plastic wrap. Let sit at least 4-6 hours or overnight in refrigerator. Longer is more tender and mouthwatering.

2

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Bring ribs to room temperature; place ribs in a shallow baking pan in the middle of your oven (or 2 pans if doubling the recipe). Roast for about 3.5 to 4 hours, until tender.

3

Meanwhile make the sauce by combining all ingredients. Then coat the meat generously with the Homemade Barbecue Sauce, and cook for 30 minutes longer before removing from the oven.

4

HINT: Try your own additions: extra tobasco sauce, other hot sauces, honey…and the possibilities are endless!

5

To serve brush once more with Homemade Barbecue Sauce. Serve remaining sauce on the side.
