This recipe is more of a cooking technique than a recipe, but never-the-less, it is fantastic and so much fun to bring the tastes of summer indoors during the winter!!!
This isn't the best photograph, but the ribs QUICKLY disappeared before I realized I needed a better photo, so this will have to do for now. Let's just say that the ribs went from the above condition, to the condition in the next picture in record time.
Start with a 2 to 3 pound section of baby back pork ribs and cut them into three sections. I buy the more meaty baby back ribs, so I think next time I'll cut them into even smaller sections.
Put the sections in a large deep pot and cover with water. Add a full tablespoon of salt and a 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper directly to the water. Bring everything to a boil and then reduce to a "high simmer" (not a full boil) for an hour, then drain.
While the ribs are simmering, cover a baking sheet (that has a lip) with foil and spray it with vegetable spray. This will be a huge help in cleanup.
Place the boiled ribs bone side up first and cover with a thick layer of your favorite barbecue sauce. Broil in a PREHEATED broiler, on high, for 5 minutes.
Remove from oven and flip the ribs over so the meaty side is up. Apply another thick layer of barbecue sauce and put back under the broiler for another five minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and just starting to crisp up (watch it because it will burn quickly if left under the broiler too long).
Remove and serve immediately....with LOTS of napkins!!! Deliciously tender!!!
ENJOY !!!!!
