This is my version of fall off the bone goodness....some like to boil, and then throw on the grill....some like to strictly just grill them....but unless you are a wizard at controlling the heat, you will not get them done perfectly. I bake mine, really slow, with a dry rub, and then sauce them at the end...so here it is:

Rubbed Slab
|
I prefer pork babybacks, I take one slab (or more depending on how big your family is) and rub it with a great blend of spices (to follow). Then I take a cookie sheet that I have covered in foil, spray it with non-stick spray, and put your rubbed ribs on it, cover almost air tight, so they steam while they cook. This is what keeps them moist. Put them in a pre-heated oven at 225 degrees for three hours. After the three hours, unwrap, there will be quite a bit of liquid, you could leave in or drain off....this is when you want to slather with your favorite sauce, turn the oven up to 250 degrees and put back in uncovered for about 45 minutes. This should create almost a glaze effect. Once you take them out of the oven, let rest a bit before you cut them apart.
Rib Rub: (you can adjust how you like, this is the basics)
2 Tsp Paprika
1 1/2 Tsp Chili Powder
1/4 Tsp Cayenne (or more it you like it spicy)
1 Tsp White Pepper
1 Tsp Pepper (I used smoked)
1 Tsp Cinnamon
3/4 Tsp Ground Oregano
1/2 Tsp Allspice
1/2 Tsp Cumin
1/2 Tsp Ginger
1/4 Tsp Ground Cloves
1 Tbl sp Salt
1 Tbl sp Brown Sugar
I know it is a lot of different ingredients but you will never go back to pre-made rib rubs again!!
These ribs sound great!
