(This recipe was passed on to me, from my Father, who makes these ribs from time to time and has proclaimed them, the best in the world. So, you decide! As a child, and young adult, for some reason, I was never into ribs, so I am not an officiando on ribs in any way shape or form. I do love to barbecue, however I am not fond of starting the propane. )
Ingredients:
4 lbs. Baby Back Ribs
I Cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 Cup Chili Sauce
1/4 Cup Cat Sup
1/4 Cup Dark Rum
1/4 Cup Soy Sauce
1/2 Cup Worcestershire Sauce
I Tsp. Dry Mustard
2 Cloves of Garlic, crushed or minced
1/8 Tsp. Pepper, white or black
Pre-Cook Ribs by boiling or baking about 1 hour in a 350 degree oven. Boil on medium for the same amount of time, if you prefer. If using water to boil or a bit in the baking dish, drain off before adding the sauce aka marinade.
Combine all ingredients and pour over the ribs or brush onto the ribs with a basting brush or paint brush.
Let marinate at room temperature for about 20 to 30 minutes. (My suggestion would be to marinate, overnight, so that the ribs can absorb the full flavors.)
Cooking:
My father uses a coal based barbecue to cook his ribs on. Cook over the coals about 30 minutes, turning and basting often with the marinade.
Go easy on the marinade, so you have enough or else (his words), double the amount you make.
This recipe according to Dad, is also good for chicken.
I forgot to add, this was my mother’s recipe.
