Adam Perry Lang's Ultimate Baby Back Pork Ribs with Apricot BBQ Sauce
Ingredients
4 racks baby back ribs (approximately 1 1/2 pounds each)
For the spice paste:
1/2 cup mustard
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup chili powder
2 tablespoons garlic salt
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
For foil packets:
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup apple juice
1 cup softened butter
For the fortified barbeque sauce:
1 cup favorite BBQ sauce
1/4 cup apricot jelly
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup water
Yields: 4-6 servings
Preparation
Preheat an indirect BBQ to 275°F (use fruitwoods if possible, such as apple).

Spread ribs evenly with Spice Paste.

Place the ribs in the cooker and cook indirect (meaning not in direct exposure to fire) for 2 hours.

While ribs are cooking, combine the fortified barbeque sauce in a bowl and set aside.

When the 2 hours has elapsed, tear off 4 large sheets of aluminum foil (enough to accommodate two racks of ribs side by side). On first sheet, place half of the packet mixture on the foil, top with a rack of ribs meaty side down, and wrap in the foil, crimping to seal securely. Wrap with the second sheet of foil. Repeat for the remaining 2 racks of ribs.

Place the wrapped ribs back in the cooker, and cook for an additional hour.

Remove the wrapped ribs from the cooker and carefully remove from foil packets.

Coat with fortified BBQ sauce. Place back in the BBQ meat side down for 15 minutes, flip over, brush with additional sauce then continue to cook for an additional 15 minutes.
Remove ribs to cutting board. Cut the ribs from the racks and brush the exposed sides with the remaining

I use this recipe and everyone just loves its. It's so easy to make.

Melt in your mouth oven BBQ ribs

4 lbs pork ribs
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon hickory smoke salt (A bottle of this is pretty expensive about $7, but you can also use liquid smoke)
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)
2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce (mine is Sweet Baby Ray)

Directions

- Preheat oven to 300 degrees f.

- Peel off tough membrane that covers the bony side of the ribs.

- Mix together the sugar and spices to make the rub.

- Apply rub to ribs on all sides.

- Lay ribs on two layers of foil, shiny side out and meaty side down.

- Lay two layers of foil on top of ribs and roll and crimp edges tightly, edges facing up to seal.

- Place on baking sheet and bake for 2-2 1/2 hours or until meat is starting to shrink away from the ends of the bone.

- Remove from oven.

- Heat broiler.

- Cut ribs into serving sized portions of 2 or 3 ribs.

- Arrange on broiler pan, bony side up.

- Broil for 1 or 2 minutes until sauce is cooked on and bubbly.

Re: Spare ribs?

I throw them in the crock pot with a bottle of BBQ sauce over them. Cook for the day and enjoy. Meat falls right off the bone.
