Honey 'n' Orange Back Ribs
Ingredients
  • 5 - 6
    pounds pork baby back ribs (loin back ribs), cut into 3- to 4-rib portions
  • 1
    29 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 2/3
    cup honey
  • 1/2
    cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4
    cup soy sauce
  • 1/4
    cup red wine vinegar
  • 2
    teaspoons onion powder
  • 2
    teaspoons finely shredded orange peel
  • 1 1/2
    teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2
    teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1
    teaspoon barbecue seasoning
Directions

1. To precook ribs, place ribs in a Dutch oven. Add enough water to cover ribs. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Drain ribs and cool.

2. Meanwhile, for marinade-sauce, in a large saucepan combine tomato sauce, honey, onion, soy sauce, vinegar, onion powder, orange peel, garlic powder, ginger, and barbecue seasoning. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove saucepan from heat; cool sauce completely.

3. Place an extra-large, self-sealing plastic bag in a large bowl. Place ribs in the bag. Pour about 3 cups of the cooled sauce over the ribs; seal bag. Turn ribs in bag to coat. (Cover and refrigerate remaining sauce to serve with ribs). Refrigerate ribs for 4 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.

4. To grill ribs, remove ribs from marinade, reserving marinade for brush on during grilling. Place ribs on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 25 to 30 minutes, turning and basting occasionally with some of the reserved marinade. Discard any remaining marinade. In a small saucepan heat the remaining sauce not used for marinating and pass with ribs. Makes 6 servings.

Boiling the ribs first was fine with me...fewer flare-ups on the grill. What disappointed me was the sauce. It sounded great, but lacked any of the zing I expected. It needs cayenne or tabasco or something of that sort to add a spark to a fairly complex flavor combination.
