2 Racks (about 3 lbs / 1.5 kg)Johnston’s Pork Back or Side Ribs
½ Cup (125 mL)Honey
½ Cup (125 mL)Cider Vinegar
½ Cup (125 mL)Ketchup
¼ Cup (50 mL)Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp (30 mL)Garlic, Minced
2 tsp (10 mL)Tobasco Sauce
2 tsp (10 mL)Garlic Powder
Cooking Directions
Pre-heat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Using a fork, lift the membrane from a corner of the rib bones on the non-meaty underside; gently peel it away from the ribs and discard.
Place ribs in a single layer in a baking tray or dish, meaty side up. Add 2 cups (500 mL) hot water to the tray. Cover with foil and bake in oven for about 1 hour, or until meat is easily pieced with a sharp knife, and is beginning to pull away from the rib bones.
Prepare sauce: Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until sauce thickens slightly.
Switch oven to broiler, preheat on HIGH.
Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet and baste with sauce. Broil 5 to 6 inches (13 - 15 cm) from heat until sauce starts to bubble, about 3 - 5 minutes.
Remove from oven, turn over and baste other side of ribs. Return to oven and broil for another 3 - 5 minutes.
