So, how do you cook a good rib? I start with a good season rub. Probably my personal favorites are D-dog's apple or peach rub, but his maple comes in a close third. Love them all.
My Southern Style Ribs
6 lbs baby back pork ribs
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup mustard (prepared like French's)
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp hot sauce
1T BBQ rub or your choice or Chef Tess All Purpose seasoning
Cut the ribs into serving size pieces. Place ribs in a roasting pan and season generously with BBQ rub or seasoning. Bake in 325 degree oven 1 1/2 hour until cooked through.
Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes or until thickened and reduced to a syrup. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.

Take the ribs out of the oven. Brush the sauce over the ribs. Reduce oven heat to 300. bake uncovered, basting occasionally. Bake 1 hour longer until ribs are tender. Remove from oven.
OR alternate cooking method:
Skip oven baking all together and place ribs and reduced sauce in a crock pot and cook on low 6-8 hours
Yields 6-8 servings. Serve some for dinner tonight with baked beans sweet potatoes and Cole slaw. We made sweet potato french fries. It was awesome.
To heat:
Place on oven rack out of bag. Bake 375 degrees 35-40 minutes until heated through.
Microwave: 2-3 ribs 4-5 minutes from frozen.
There you go.

Be still my beating heart, this Cave Woman LOVES ribs! I almost never make them though, because even though I am married to a true carnivore, he believes ribs are a waste of time and energy. (Too much work for too little meat.) I however LOVE them and make him suffer through them whenever I find them on sale.
See...I knew it was very "cave woman" to like ribs! Ha!
