Easy spare ribs

So it’s The Fourth of July and of course I’m grilling.  This year I’m grilling a rack of pork spare ribs, some chicken drumsticks and sliced portobello mushrooms.  I started with the ribs. 

Basically I just put the ribs on the grill for about 45 minutes, just long enough to get some color and some smoke on them.  Then I wrapped them in foil and put them in the oven for two and a half hours.  Really it was extremely simple to make.  I didn’t put any rub or barbecue sauce on them and honestly they were excellent without it.  If you did want to put barbecue sauce on your ribs I wouldn’t do it until about 20 to 30 minutes before you take them out or the barbecue suave will just burn and taste bad.  The barbecue sauce has too much sugar in it and that’s why it burns. 

These next pictures are before and after the oven.  When I took them out they were literally fall off the bone tender.  So tender in fact that I had a hard time getting them from the pan to the plate without a spatula.

I hope you enjoyed this simple recipe and I hope you had a great time this Fourth of July!
