Barbecued Ribs

These ribs are really moist and tender and the flavours are perfect.  I'm one of those people who keeps trying different recipes until I find one that closely matches what I think it should taste like.  From there, I make some modifications to suit my own tastes.  I use my own homemade barbecue sauce to finish these ribs off, but you can use your favorite store bought brand.


Ingredients


5 lbs. pork back ribs (3 racks)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Homemade Barbecue Sauce or your favorite bottled sauce

Method


Trim any visible fat from ribs.  Place ribs in a large shallow pan.  

In a small dish, stir together all dry ingredients for the rub.  Rub over the ribs.  Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or for up to 24 hours.  

Heat one burner of your barbecue to medium, it doesn't matter if it's a two or three burner.  Place ribs on greased grill over the UNLIT burner(s).  Close lid and cook for 50 minutes, keeping the temperature at 250 to 300 degrees F.  Turn and cook for another 50 minutes or until tender and the bones are visible at the ends.  

Brush ribs generously with barbecue sauce.  Cook, turning once and basting often, for 20 minutes or until crisp on both sides.  Remove from grill. Cut into serving portions.  

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
