Sweet Baby Back Ribs

Once upon a time, I came across a recipe for Baby Back Ribs and have used the same method to make ribs ever since. It’s incredibly simple and the results are fantastic!

Here is the recipe (for four people):

2 racks baby back ribs
kosher salt
one large bottle Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce (or more if you like them extra saucy!)

Turn each rack of ribs upside down. Cut each rib from the rack individually. Place the cut ribs in a large stew pot, cover with water and a liberal amount of kosher salt (about 2 tbsp), and bring to a rolling boil. When the pot comes to a rolling boil, skim the fat from the top of the pot with a ladle at least twice. Continue boiling for 75-90 minutes, or until the rib meat begins to separate from the bone, exposing the bone ends.

Preheat the oven to Broil.

Place a layer of tin foil over a large baking sheet. Strain the water from the boiled ribs into a colander.

Squeeze the bottle of BBQ sauce into a large bowl. Using tongs, coat each rib in the sauce bowl, then place on the foil-covered baking sheet. When all the ribs are coated and placed on the baking sheet, broil until blackened tips begin to form on the ribs.

Serve with potato salad or side of your choice. Enjoy–with plenty of napkins!
