Dry-Rubbed Baby Back Ribs with Molasses Barbecue Sauce

March 5, 2017

There just isn’t much that people like more than finger-licking ribs.  You really can’t go wrong with ribs slow-cooked.  Pair this with some potatoes and it’s a memorable meal.

People don’t forget ribs.  When I make them for guests, they often talk about what I served a year later.  Crazy but true!  These are easy to make in bulk and have in the freezer for extra.  I love bringing them to people when they need a meal.
