Ingredients at Firehouse Pantry


-
Place ribs in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, or until meat is tender, but not falling off the bone; drain and place ribs in a sealable dish; set aside.
-In a saucepan over medium-high heat, sauté the onion and garlic in butter until the onion is tender, about 3 minutes; remove from heat and pour into a blender.
-Add remaining ingredients to blender and puree for 1 minute, then pour back into the saucepan.
-Bring contents of the pan to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally; remove from heat.
-Pour sauce over ribs, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
-Grill ribs over moderately hot coals or a medium-high flame, basting with the sauce and turning often, until well browned.

Notes: Liquid Smoke and Smoke Powder is a natural flavoring used to add a smoky flavor to foods. The product is produced by burning hardwood chips and condensing the smoke into a liquid form (and dehydrating it to make the powder). It is readily available in the U.S. in the spice or condiment aisle of a grocery store. There is no substitute for this ingredient; if you don't have it, simply omit it.

Make It A Meal: Serve accompanied by Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes and Bacon-Wrapped Garlic Asparagus

  • Yummy!! My boyfriend and I loved this homemade sauce!!

  • I used boneless country ribs. It turned out wonderful!

  • I discovered this recipe last summer and I have made baby backs with this recipe about 6 or 7 times already! They always come out great. Sometimes and I'll tweak the amount of garlic or bbq sauce to ketchup ratio to get a different variation. You can't go wrong!

  • great ribs - I used baby back and they were so tender - now I am known as the Rib Man - thanks Robbie!

  • I tried this recipe for my pork ribs and everybody told me they had never tasted ribs that tender and juicy ...even more tender than the ones served at the restaurant. Thanks a million!
