Fall-Off-The-Bone Ribs

Fall-Off-The-Bone Ribs one rack of pork baby back ribs juice of one lemon 1/4 cup dry rub (see recipe below) 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's) Preheat oven to 300° F. Remove excess fat from ribs. Peel the silver skin off the back of the ribs - lift with a sharp knife and grab with a paper towel to remove. Cut ribs apart into individual pieces. Rub ribs all over with lemon juice. Coat ribs with dry rub. Place meat side down in large baking pan, & cover tightly with foil, shiny side out. Bake in the oven for 2 1/2 hours. Remove from oven & pour off liquid. Brush bbq sauce over all sides of ribs. Grill: To finish ribs on the grill, remove from the pan and place ribs on the grill (I use a basket over direct but low heat) basting and turning a few times for about 10 minutes. Oven: To finish ribs in the oven, set oven to broil and return ribs to the same oven rack, uncovered, basting and broiling about 5 minutes per side, watching so they don’t burn. They will be so tender, it’s best to turn them using gloved hands. Dry Rub for Pork Ingredients 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar 3/4 cup white sugar 1/2 cup paprika 1/4 cup garlic powder 2 tablespoons ground black pepper 2 tablespoons ground ginger powder 2 tablespoons onion powder 2 teaspoons rosemary powder How to use it Mix the ingredients thoroughly in a bowl. If the sugar is lumpy, crumble the lumps by hand or on the side of the bowl with a fork. If you store the rub in a tight jar, you can keep it for months. If it clumps just chop it up, or if you wish, spread it on a baking sheet and put it in a 225°F oven for 15 minutes to drive off moisture. No hotter or the sugar can burn. For most meats, wet the surface of the meat with water and sprinkle just enough Dry Rub to color it. Makes. About 3 cups. Store the extra in a zipper bag or a glass jar with a tight lid. Use enough to cover the meat surface but still let some meat show through.
