This recipe sounded more than mildly creepy to me because it has you boil the ribs for a while before broiling them (or grilling them, if you like) Honestly, boiling ribs look and smell pretty gross - I started making contingency plans for dinner while the ribs boiled, just in case. Yet somehow, these were delicious, so don't be afraid of the boiling ribs.
3 lbs ribs, we used pork riblets, so they were already in small pieces, but if you buy a rack you need to break it into smaller pieces
1 1/2 ketchup
1/4 C + 2 Tbsp vinegar
4 1/2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
4 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp liquid smoke flavoring
Place ribs into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer until tender, about 1 hour (don't be afraid of the boiling ribs, they'll be fine).
Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer uncovered, stirring frequently until thickened (about 20-30 minutes).
Preheat the oven's broiler. Drain ribs and place the meaty-side-up on broiler pan. Brush with sauce (not much, extra sauce will burn). Broil about 5-7 minutes, until sauce is sticky and lightly browned. Turn the ribs over and brush with more sauce. Broil another 5-7 minutes. Serve with extra sauce.
Original Recipe off Allrecipes.com here! You'll notice, though, that I increased the sauce amount because the sauce was so good that we wanted more.
Oh this post made me think of the time we made ribs with Holly's father on a Sunday afternoon. That was heavenly! =)
