Ingredients
-
3/4 cup bottled barbecue sauce
-
1/3 cup honey
-
1/3 cup apple jelly
-
1/4 cup catsup
-
1/4 cup water
-
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar
-
2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
-
1-1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
3-1/2 pounds pork loin back ribs, cut into 2- to 3-rib portions
Directions
1.
In a medium saucepan combine barbecue sauce, honey, jelly, catsup, the 1/4 cup water, celery, brown sugar, relish, mustard, and cinnamon. Cook and stir over medium heat until bubbly. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; cool.
2.
Meanwhile, place ribs in a Dutch oven. Add water to cover. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 45 minutes or until tender. Drain. Cool slightly. Place ribs in a 3-quart baking dish; pour cooled sauce over ribs. Cover and chill 4 to 24 hours, turning ribs once or twice.
3.
Before serving, remove ribs from sauce. Reserve sauce. Grill ribs directly over medium coals or broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for 15 to 20 minutes, turning and brushing with sauce once. (Watch closely to prevent burning.) Heat any remaining sauce until bubbly; pass with ribs. Makes 5 servings.
