Spring is here and everyone knows what that means! It’s time to bust out that grill in preparation for the summer months! One of my favorite grilled meals is baby back ribs. They just scream summer! Slap on some BBQ and grab some paper towels – when you’re eating ribs it gets messy!

Ingredients:
- 3 racks pork baby back ribs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1⁄2 tablespoon black pepper
- 3 cups hot water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (store bought, or home-made)
Instructions:
- Mix Brown sugar with spices and set aside.
- Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees. Use a 2 piece broiler pan, the lower half filled with very hot water, then layer racks of rib on the top. Ribs can be left whole in racks and layered. Rub the brown sugar mixture liberally over each rack. Then using heavy duty tin foil, cover the pan so that no heat escapes. Set in oven for 3 hours and can be up to 5 hours.
- Remove foil carefully and cut ribs into a manageable length to grill them. If you try to grill the rack without making it smaller, some of the ribs will fall apart and the meat will literally fall off the bones! Brush with your favorite barbecue sauce. Grill over a very hot gas or charcoal grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
