directions

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 325°F (160°C). Place ribs on a baking tray, meaty side up. Place sliced limes over surface of ribs. Add 2 cups (500 mL) hot water to tray.

Step 2

Cover with foil and place in oven for about 2 hours, or until meat is easily pierced with a thin knife and begins to pull away from the bones. Remove ribs from the oven. At this stage the ribs can be cooled, covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Step 3

Pre-heat grill to medium low or oven to 325°F (160°C). Place ribs on grill or in oven and brush generously with sauce. Turn and brush frequently until ribs have become a rich dark brown, about 20 minutes.

Step 4

Serve immediately with plenty of paper towels for your guests.

Step 5

Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until sauce becomes a bit syrupy.

Step 6

The sauce can be cooled, covered and refrigerated for up to a week.

Step 7

Tip: Look for “St. Louis-Style Ribs” when buying side ribs. These are trimmed and ready to cook.

Step 8

Tip: Try this sauce for back ribs or country style ribs.

Step 9

In a hurry? Use your favourite commercial BBQ sauce to replace the Hot Coffee Barbecue Sauce.
