Ingredients

2 slabs ribs
3/4 cup your favorite dry rub (recommended: Big Bob Gibson Seasoning and Dry Rub)

Marinade:

1 cup apple juice
1 cup grape juice

Finishing Glaze:

3/4 cup your favorite BBQ sauce (recommended: Big Bob Gibson Championship Red Sauce)
1/4 cup honey

Directions

Preheat a grill or the oven to 250 degrees F.

Pull membrane off of the back of the ribs. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of rub over each slab, front and back. Place ribs, meat side up, on the grill or in the oven for 2 hours. Remove and place each slab on a doubled aluminum foil square, meat side down. Combine the marinade ingredients. Pour 1 cup of marinade over each slab while wrapping tightly in foil. Cook for 1 more hour at 250 degrees F. Remove slabs from foil and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of rub. Cook an additional 1 hour, uncovered, until ribs are tender.

Mix together the BBQ sauce and honey. Remove ribs from the oven and paint with finishing glaze, and cook for another 15 minutes. Cut and serve.

I never cooked my ribs for 3-4 hrs. So I was alittle scared at first. I followed the recipe(beside using my sauce &... seasoning) what a differance. Nice and tender. To all you that try this one just be patient, and you will have good product.Read more

YUM
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these last year for my annual summer solstice BBQ. I did all but the last hour in the oven while getting all the party... stuff ready. Finished them off on the grill (slow charcoal/mesquite chips) after the guests arrived. They were so good! I'm doing them again this year. But I need to buy more ribs...They all got gone very quickly!Read more

Delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made these on a Weber grill and cooked them on very low heat for about 3.5 hours. The only thing I did differently was... decrease the amt of dry rub- the first time I tried it made too much of a dry crust for our liking. I also threw in some apple wood chips for some smoky flavor. Best ribs we ever had!Read more
