I never had ribs growing up, we ate mostly Italian food so I had to teach myself how to cook ribs. Ribs are one of my husbands favorite things I make for him. We buy locally pasture raised pork ribs from Mills farms. I don't care for any bottled style sauce, mostly because of the hickory smoke flavor. I have honed in on my own rib sauce recipe which lends to a sweeter rib.
Ingredients
1 cup Ketchup (my shortcut buy the one without High fructose corn syrup)
1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 cup of water
Rack of Pork Ribs
Instructions
I start with boiling the ribs. Place ribs in a large pot cover the ribs with water, sometimes I throw bottle of beer in the water too. Bring ribs to a boil and boil covered for 15 minutes. While the ribs are cooking I assemble and cook my sauce. In a sauce pan combine ketchup, honey, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, garlic powder, and water. Chop your onions and add those as well. Stir to combine. Bring sauce to a boil reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Stir often.
Remove ribs from water place on grill and slather with sauce on both sides and cook ribs on each side about 10 minutes.
Cut ribs, serve and enjoy!
I am not a formally schooled "Chef", I was taught the joy of cooking in my Sicilian mothers kitchen. When I am in my kitchen preparing my family's recipes it reminds me of her and the loved ones that have passed on but come alive through memories made in the kitchen or around the kitchen table. For me and my family cooking and sharing food is about making memories. The time I spend cooking in the kitchen and at the table with the people I love are the most meaningful moments in my life.
