Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chipotle chile powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, seafood seasoning and black pepper.
- Place each slab of ribs on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to fold over and seal, then place on a baking sheet. Do not seal the ribs in the foil yet (see Cook's Note). Generously sprinkle the dry rub on both sides of the ribs. Place in the refrigerator, meat-side down and uncovered, for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, combine the apple cider, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Worcestershire and minced garlic. Pour half the liquid over each slab and tightly seal each in the aluminum foil, crimping the edges to make a packet.
- Transfer the foil packets and baking sheet to the oven and bake until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones, about 2 hours.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Carefully open the aluminum packets and pour the braising liquid into a small saucepan. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat until it becomes a thick and syrupy glaze, about 4 minutes.
- While the braising liquid reduces, line a baking sheet with foil and gently transfer the ribs to it. Position a rack on the top level of the oven and preheat the broiler.
- Using a pastry brush, generously brush the ribs with about half the glaze. Place the ribs under the broiler for about 1 minute. Brush with the remaining glaze and return to the broiled until charred in spots, about 1 minute more. Slice each rack between the bones into 2-rib portions and serve.

Steps:
- 1. Remove the silver lining off the back of the baby back ribs. I find it easiest to make a long incision down the middle and remove it in two parts. Cut the ribs into 4 sections (about 3 - 4 ribs per portion)
- 2. Put the ribs in a large stock pot and cover with water. Combine the Garlic cloves, onion, salt, pepper and any other seasoning you like to use (I like Cavenders). Bring to a rolling boil, cover and simmer for an hour. Preheat your oven to 250
- 3. Take 2 large pieces of aluminum foil and put two sections of ribs in each. Slather the ribs with equal parts of the two Sweet Baby Ray's sauces. NOTE - you don't have to use both, I just like mine sweet and spicy! Sprinkle a little chili powder on top and tightly seal the aluminum packets.
- 4. Cook for 2 hours at 250 degrees. Remove and put your oven on broil. Open up the aluminum packets but do not remove the ribs. They will now go in the broiler to give the tops a nice crispy finish. Eye it, it can take anywhere from 2-5 minutes depending on how you like them.

Steps:
- Put the ribs in a large stockpot and fill with enough cold water to cover. Squeeze the lemons into a bowl and strain the juice into the pot; add the lemon rinds as well (remove any seeds). Add the salt, peppercorns and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Boil until the ribs are slightly soft but not falling apart, about 25 minutes.
- Prepare a grill for high heat.
- Transfer the ribs to the grill, meatier-side down. Grill for 10 minutes; brush with glaze if you like and then grill another 3 minutes. The finished ribs should be at least 165 degrees F in the center; you don't want to char the meat, but you want it to fall apart.
BEST BABY BACK RIBS IN TOWN
When Damon's Restaurant left our area, I had to re-create their delectable, sweet, hickory-flavored ribs because we all loved them so much. These tender, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth ribs live up to their name and are my family's #1 favorite. Although this recipe takes a while to prepare, the steps are easy, and the results are well-worth the trouble. The sauce recipe came from my cookbook, "True Southern Family Recipes". It can be prepared ahead and refrigerated indefinitely.

Steps:
- Make one recipe of Rib Sauce (above) and set aside.
- Pre-cook ribs by EITHER Baking (preferred method) OR Parboiling.
- MAKE-AHEAD TIP: After pre-cooking (baking or parboiling) ribs, they may be vacuum sealed and frozen for up to 3 months OR glazed with Rib Sauce and refrigerated or given their final baking immediately.
- ** BAKING RIBS (preferred method): Cut rack of ribs in half. Place 1 1/2 pounds ribs in each of two 9x13-inch casserole dishes.
- Add 1/4 cup vinegar to each casserole. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Drain all liquid.
- ** PAR-BOILING RIBS: Cut rack of ribs in half. Fill large pot with water; heat to boiling. Add all ribs to boiling water (should be enough to just cover top of ribs).
- Simmer ribs about 45 minutes until just tender but meat is not falling off the bones. Remove ribs from boiling water. Rinse and drain.
- **** RIBS (Final Baking): Cut ribs in sections. In two 9x13-inch glass casserole, place ribs in SINGLE layer in casserole.
- Pour about 1/3 of Rib Sauce over one dish of ribs to glaze them.
- Repeat with second half of ribs, using another 1/3 of sauce or enough of the remaining sauce to glaze all the ribs.
- MAKE-AHEAD TIP: At this point you can cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 48 hours.
- If frozen, thaw before baking.
- Place UNCOVERED ribs in preheated 350 degree oven.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes until most of sauce has been absorbed by the ribs and meat is "melt-in-your-mouth" tender.
- If you have any remaining sauce, serve it with the ribs, along with plenty of napkins.
- These are finger-licking good and messy to eat-- but is there any other way to eat ribs?.
- *** RIB SAUCE: Mix cornstarch and water together to make a slurry Set aside.
- Mix remaining dry ingredients together.
- Place in saucepan.
- Mix remaining wet ingredients together.
- Pour half of wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring to mix well.
- Add remaining half of wet ingredients, stir to mix well, and simmer mixture, uncovered, for about 10-20 minutes to thicken sauce a bit.
- While mixture is gently boiling, pour in slurry while stirring.
- Return mixture to a slow boil and cook until sauce thickens a little.
- Sauce should be thick enough to cling to ribs, yet pourable.
- Cool sauce and store in air-tight glass or plastic container.
- Refrigerated it keeps indefinitely.
Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Look for baby back ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too thin or have a lot of bone.
- Parboil the ribs: Parboiling the ribs before cooking them in the oven helps to tenderize them and remove some of the fat. This will result in more flavorful and juicy ribs.
- Use a flavorful rub: The rub is what gives the ribs their flavor, so be sure to use a blend that you like. There are many different recipes for rib rubs available online, so you can find one that suits your taste.
- Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to cook ribs is low and slow. This allows the meat to cook evenly and become fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Baste the ribs: Basting the ribs with a mixture of melted butter and your favorite barbecue sauce will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Let the ribs rest: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful ribs.
Conclusion:
Parboiled baby back ribs in the oven is an easy and delicious way to enjoy this classic dish. By following the tips above, you can create ribs that are fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor. So next time you're looking for a great meal to share with friends and family, give this recipe a try.
