Smokey Barbecue Ribs ~ Smokey, Tender Ribs Loaded in a Homemade Barbecue Sauce!



I just got done hosting my daughter’s second birthday party and I’m exhausted. Literally drained. It was only our family but my feet hurt, my hip hurts and I’m worn out. I quit possibly took on a little bit to much this weekend. I felt the need to make homemade cupcakes instead of ordering them. I felt the need to make several banners to announce that she was turning 2 and it had to be in the Minnie Mouse decor that I had picked for her theme. I had to clean my house. I had to make scotcheroo bars cut out in the shape of mouse heads and dipped in Candiquik.

Ingredients
1 lb ribs
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 c. 7-Up
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. honey
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 c. barbecue sauce
2 Tbsp liquid smoke

Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut ribs and put on rack in large shallow pan. Spread minced garlic over ribs. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
In the meantime combine the remaining ingredients in saucepan and bring to a boil.
Remove meat from oven and place in a clean pan. Pour sauce over meat. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours, brushing occasionally with sauce.

Smoky Baby Back Ribs in the Crock-Pot



Low and slow is the way to go with baby back ribs, and the Crock-Pot or slow cooker does them perfectly. Finish these Smoky Baby Back Ribs with a sweet barbecue glaze under the broiler.

Ingredients
2 1/2 pounds baby back pork ribs
1/4-1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Glaze: mixture of barbecue and Hoisin sauces (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each)

Instructions
Spray inside of crock with nonstick spray. Cut ribs with scissors into 3- or 4-rib chunks and place in crock. Sprinkle with smoked paprika.
Place ribs in crock and cook on HIGH for 5 hours (or LOW for 8-10 hours). Test with a fork to make sure they are tender.
When ready to serve, remove ribs from crock, place them on a foil- or parchment paper-lined baking sheet, brush ribs with mixture of barbecue sauce and Hoisin sauce (mix at ratio of 1:1, or whatever ratio you prefer), and broil or grill ribs to finish them off. Watch carefully so they don’t burn (the sugar in the sauce will burn easily.)
Serves 4.

Quick notes

Amount: You can increase the poundage of ribs if you have more people to feed. Just increase the glaze amount as well, for the finish.

Ingredient: Smoked paprika gives a smoky flavor to whatever it touches. Once you buy some, you will be hooked!
