Feeling the love for some tasty barbecued spare ribs, but not loving the idea of barbecuing outside in the cold? Assuage those rib cravings of yours by making “barbecued” ribs indoors. First, the ribs are baked in a low-temperature oven and then they’re basted and “grilled” under the broiler. Your reward will be smokey-tasting juicy ribs with a little bit of a kick that’s amplified by a sticky, sweet, and tangy finish. Get those napkins out, because the Super Bowl’s around the corner and you’ll want to serve these ribs at your party!
Beth’s Melt in Your Mouth Barbecue Ribs
Recipe from Food.com
Ingredients:
4 lbs pork ribs
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon hickory smoke salt
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)
2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
2. Peel off tough membrane that covers the bony side of the ribs.
3. Mix together the sugar and spices to make the rub.
4. Apply rub to ribs on all sides.
5. Lay ribs on two layers of foil, shiny side out and meaty side down.
6. Lay two layers of foil on top of ribs and roll and crimp edges tightly, edges facing up to seal.
7. Place on baking sheet and bake for 2 – 2½ hours or until meat starts to shrink away from the ends of the bone.
8. Remove from oven.
9. Heat broiler.
10. Cut ribs into serving sized portions of 2 or 3 ribs.

12. Brush on sauce.
13. Broil for 1 or 2 minutes until sauce is cooked on and bubbly.
14. Turn ribs over.
15. Repeat on other side.
16. Alternately, you can grill the ribs on your grill to cook on the sauce.
Serves 6
Linnell’s Notes:
1. I could not find hickory smoke salt, so I brushed a tiny amount of Liquid Smoke (Hickory) on the ribs before applying the dry rub. A little bit of Liquid Smoke goes a long way, so don’t over do it.
2. I used Kinder’s Mild BBQ Sauce, but any flavorful good quality sauce will do.
3. I did not add any salt to the dry rub mix, partially because I couldn’t find the hickory smoke salt and because I felt that there would be plenty of sodium in the barbecue sauce. My husband and I thought the ribs tasted great without any additional salt, but it’s up to you.
4. Come spring and summer, you’ll want to finish these ribs off outside on the grill instead of under the broiler!
ENJOY!!

Instead of serving a tray of high-calorie appetizers at your next party, how about presenting a beautiful platter of fresh crudités? Boring, you say? Not if you serve the crudités with a variety of interesting dips! Don’t be fooled by the simple list of ingredients in the Herb Dip; the fresh herbs really shine in this easy and delicious recipe. Tempt your guests with the cooling flavor of lime juxtaposed against the heat of chilies in the Chili-Lime Sour Cream Dip. Last, but certainly not least, the Peanut Sauce is sure to be a crowd favorite – what’s not to like about peanut butter with a little attitude?
One step out of the front door, one downward dour look, and one step back into the house – I could tell that no amount of coaxing was going to persuade my 14-year-old dog to go for a walk in the rain. Inside, he looked at me with pleading old eyes, as if to say, “I’m not going outside, Mom. The rain is one thing, but this silly raincoat is another! How embarrassing to be seen like this!” Even though I thought he looked cute, I relented and we headed to the backyard instead.
