To day my in-laws are having a cookout. It is the last big outdoor gathering of the year, the next time we all get together will be for Thanksgiving. Today we are pit-cooking chickens, Boston butts and ribs. We will play cornhole and horseshoes, and spend time with friends we may not see until spring. My contribution to this little party is the ribs. Slow cooked, wood smoked, yummy, messy ribs.
I rubbed 10 pounds of ribs with a mixture of 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, a teaspoon each ground red pepper, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, allspice, chili powder, 4 tablespoons season salt and 2 tablespoons paprika. Place the ribs in a big aluminum pan (then you can throw the mess away) and seal tightly with foil. Bake low and slow, 275 for HOURS. I don't know how long mine cooked, but I cooked them until the meat pulled away from the bone and they felt tender when I stuck them with a knife.
I refrigerated them till today, when we will put them on a pit loaded with chickens and Boston butts. Dip with what ever you re putting on the rest of the meat, or your favorite barbecue sauce.
Just to finish making you drool, we are having baked beans, homemade potato chips and coleslaw to round out this nutritious meal. Happy Saturday Everyone.
