(Makes 6 servings)
- 2 racks of Ontario Pork back ribs, about 3 pounds
- 2 lemons
- ½ cup each: liquid honey, cider vinegar and ketchup
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons each: Tabasco or hot chile sauce and garlic powder
1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Using a fork, lift the membrane from a corner of the rib bones on the non-meaty underside and gently peel it from the ribs and discard. Place ribs in a single layer in a baking tray or dish, meaty side up. Add 2 cups of hot water to the tray. Slice lemons and place slices on top of ribs.
2. Cover tray with foil; bake in preheated oven for about 1 hour or until meat is easily pierced with a sharp knife and is beginning to pull away from the rib bones.
At this stage ribs can be cooled, covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
3. Preheat barbecue to medium-low or oven to 325°F.
Prepare sauce: Combine all remaining ingredients in medium saucepan; bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat, simmer for 10 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly.
4. Place ribs on grill; baste with sauce. Keep basting and turning ribs for about 20 minutes or until ribs are thoroughly heated. Slice and serve.
Variation: Any recipe for back ribs can also be used for side ribs with equal success. Just add about 50 minutes to steaming time.
