Finger Licking BBQ Ribs...Foodie Friday...

I was at Cosco this past Saturday and decided that I would purchase a slab of ribs and make BBQ. I decided to invite some family members to share this dinner with me. Since I started to cook late in the day, I had to change this recipe a bit. First, I boiled the ribs to get rid of some of the fat. While they were boiling I quickly put the BBQ sauce together which was quick and easy. I then took the ribs and put them in a large roasting pan covering the ribs with some boiling water and a cup of the sauce and covered them with foil. I baked them for 45 minutes and then put them onto the BBQ to finish cooking per the instructions.

If you like a vinegar based BBQ sauce then this is the recipe for you. I found it tangy and lip smacking good. I have a seal-a-meal machine so I was able to vacum pack the leftovers and put them into the freezer for a later date. I find that by using the vacum pack it enhances the flavor of the sauce in the freezer.

Next time I will follow the directions exactly. I also think it would be great to make them the day before up until the BBQ step. I think it would be a relaxing way to prepare for company.

This recipe can be found at allrecipes.com under Barbequed Pork Ribs.

  1. We haven't had ribs once this summer - after seeing Gollum's and yours I have to make some! They look wonderful.

  2. You and Gollum are thinking alike... ribs, yum! I hadn't thought about boiling them first to get rid of the fat.... but I doubt it will matter since I am really into the homemade Cherry Garcia ice cream. It is soooooo good! To keep from doubling up on the Lipitor, I'm going to try using low fat yogurt in the next batch. Of course, I'm trying raspberries with a little added raspberry-filled dark chocolate. Sorry, I'm drooling already!

  3. We had ribs tonight too!
    Yours look delicious...
    We like vinegar based also..
    I caught a great sale on country style, so I cooked them low and slow all day in the oven, then, like you, finished some of them on the grill.
    Tomorrow I will make the rest into pulled pork..
    Have a great weekend, Joyce!

  12. Hey Joycie..that is exactly how I have always done ribs. I love the vinegar tangy sauces too. You like your seal a meal..I think it is something I should look into. It would be good for the days that I am not up to cooking. Have a great weekend my friend.
