DELICIOUS OVEN BAKED BARBECUE BABY BACK RIBS

Delicious Oven Baked Barbecue Baby Back Ribs image

For the best taste prepare the sauce a day ahead to blend flavors --- although I have 6 servings listed for these ribs, my DS and DS could eat the whole thing just between themselves they are that delicious! I have made this recipe using side ribs also but I suggest to boil them first for about 20 minutes before cooking them in the oven for side ribs, I have to say that back ribs are better --- I always most always serve these ribs with my recipe#102617 --- you will love these ribs!

Ingredients

3 racks of baby-back pork ribs
salt and pepper (can use seasoning salt)
2 cups of prepared barbecue sauce (recipe below)
2 cups ketchup
1 small onion, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
4 cups water
1 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup chili powder
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 -2 teaspoon liquid smoke (to taste) (optional)
black pepper

Steps:

Prepare this sauce a day ahead and chill overnight.
In a saucepan combine all ingredients and bring to a slow boil, stirring occasionally to prevent from scorching (about 30-35 minutes).
You can strain the sauce if desired to remove the onion and garlic, that is optional.
Cool to about room temperature; cover and chill overnight or up to 2 days.
Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper, then let the ribs sit out for 30 minutes at room temperature before baking.
Set oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a large baking sheet/s.
Place the ribs (meat side up) on baking sheet.
Bake the ribs for 30 minutes.
Remove the ribs and brush on about 1/4 cup prepared sauce over each rack of ribs; return to oven and continue to bake for 20 minutes longer.
After 20 minutes, remove and brush another 1/4 cup over each rack, place back in the oven for another 20 minuters.
Repeat again using 1/4 cup sauce this time for about 25-30 minutes (100 minutes baking time in total).
Cut the ribs into thirds and arrange on a serving platter; rub a bit more sauce over the top of the ribs and serve!
