Provided by Steve_G

Categories     Pork

Time 4h30m

Yield 2 Racks, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (2 lb) racks of baby-back pork ribs or 2 (2 lb) loin ribs
1/2 cup salt or 1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 quarts cold water
6 garlic cloves
8 large fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon fresh oregano
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
1/2 cup olive oil
2 -4 tablespoons light brown sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the salt, sugar and water in a large plastic container or non-reactive stock pot.
  • Place ribs in brine and refrigerate for one hour.
  • Meanwhile, combine all rub ingredients except sugar and grind into a green thick liquid with a food processor, blender or immersion blender.
  • Remove ribs from the brine (after the hour) and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Brush or rub green liquid over both sides of the ribs, sprinkle with sugar and wrap tightly with plastic wrap.
  • Place in refrigerator for a minimum of one hour, but preferably 4 hours, you can go overnight for a really flavorful treat.
  • Wood/Charcoal method: Soak 2 large chunks of hickory in water. Light about 40-50 coals or you may also use an equal amount of dry hickory chunks for an intense smoke flavor.
  • Do not use lighter fluid, a fire starter chimney is the best method.
  • Once coals are covered with a gray ash push them over to one side put the soaked hickory chunks on the coals and replace the grate, form a pan with some heavy aluminum foil large enough for the rib, put it on the cool side of the grill, place the ribs in the"pan" add about 1 cup of water and put the cover on the grill with the holes over the meat.
  • Turn the meat 180 degrees and over every 30 minutes.
  • Add some more coals/wood in about 2 hours.
  • Smoke ribs for a total of 4 hours.
  • Gas Grill: I don't recommend this as it can leave a very slight chemical gas taste to the meat, but it does work.
  • It's the same basic technique as the charcoal method, light the grill and turn off half (or 2/3rds) of the burners, use soaked hickory chips in a throw away aluminum pan on top of the hot side of the grill.
  • For either method the temp inside the grill should be around 275°F with a total cooking time of 4 hours.
  • Serve with your favorite bbq sauce. Se like recipe#26794, Lee Lee's Famous Barbecue Sauce for Ribs w/ Preserves.
  • Brush some on the meat for the last 5-10 minutes of the cooking process if desired.

LEE LEE'S FAMOUS BARBECUE SAUCE FOR RIBS W/ PRESERVES



Lee Lee's Famous Barbecue Sauce for Ribs W/ Preserves image

This is the recipe my Mom concocted years ago for barbecued ribs. This is the only recipe we ever used! It is different in that you add preserves to the sauce to give it a sweet taste. Watch out! It can become habit forming! The amount of preserves used would be determined by the amount of sauce made. For the recipe listed I would use enough preserves to make the sauce thick, probably about 1/2 to 3/4 of a small jar. You can use apricot or peach, whichever you have on hand or prefer. One tip for grilling: The sugar in the preserves tends to burn on the grill quickly. To avoid a real clean-up mess, use the sauce at the end of the grilling. When using this recipe for Pulled Pork, omit preserves -- This will give you the perfect sauce for Pulled Pork!

KITTENCAL'S FAMOUS BARBECUE SAUCE FOR CHICKEN AND RIBS



Kittencal's Famous Barbecue Sauce for Chicken and Ribs image

This is the best barbecue sauce, and trust me I have experimented with hundreds of different combinations over the years, this is even better than any of the popular bottled sauces! ---plan ahead this sauce must be made one day in advance to allow the flavors to blend and intensify, don't even think about using it the same day it is made, this sauce will take on a whole different flavor when simmered for 1 hour and left overnight in the fridge--- the ingredients can easily be doubled but keep the garlic amount no more than 2 tablespoons, and for the best flavor use only Heinz ketchup and a good quality brand of yellow mustard, I use French's mustard it really will make a difference in the taste, please do not omit the liquid smoke --- yield is only estimated as the sauce will reduce after simmering for 1 hour or more ---*NOTE* for a smoother low fat sauce omit the oil, onion and fresh garlic, then in the saucepan mix all remaining ingredients together and add in 1 teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder then simmer for 1 hour -----you will love this sauce!

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the best choice for this recipe, as they are more tender and flavorful than spare ribs. You can also use beef ribs, but they will take longer to cook.
  • Prepare the ribs: Before cooking, remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the sauce penetrate the meat and make it more flavorful.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time: The sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
  • Cook the ribs slowly: The ribs should be cooked slowly over low heat to allow the meat to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs frequently: Baste the ribs with the sauce every 20-30 minutes to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the ribs: The ribs are done when the meat is tender and fall-off-the-bone. Overcooking will make the ribs tough and dry.

Conclusion:

Lee Lee's Famous Barbecue Sauce for Ribs with Preserves is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that will add a ton of flavor to your ribs. The combination of sweet, tangy, and smoky flavors is sure to please everyone at your next barbecue. So next time you're looking for a great rib sauce, be sure to give this one a try!
