• PREPARE Recipe #486192 for the BARBECUE SAUCE.
• PREHEAT oven to 300°F.
• RUB the SEASONING RUB mixture evenly over ribs (save any spare seasoning rub for another use).

• REMOVE baked ribs from oven and pour off the fat.
• BASTE all sides of ribs with the BARBECUE SAUCE (Funnel extra untouched sauce into a plastic squeeze bottle or Ball canning jar then store refrigerated and capped).
• BARBECUE/GRILLING METHOD: PREHEAT grill to medium heat; SET grate four inches above coals/heat source; BRUSH grill grate with vegetable oil; PLACE ribs on grill; BASTE ribs with sauce occasionally; TURN ribs as needed; REMOVE ribs from grill when the sauce caramelizes and edges are lightly charred, without overcooking (about 15 minutes, or just slightly longer).

SLIDE oven rack out carefully using oven mitts; TURN ribs over carefully with tongs; BASTE the top again with sauce; BAKE for a remainder of 8-10 minutes or until the sauce caramelizes and edges are lightly charred, without overcooking; ALLOW ribs to cool 10 minutes before serving.

EASY FALL OFF THE BONE OVEN-BAKED RIBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 275° Fahrenheit (135C).
• If the ribs still have the thin membrane covering the back of the rack, remove it. See how in the notes section below.
• Season both sides of the ribs with a generous amount of salt and pepper. If you are using a spice rub, add season the ribs with it now. Place the ribs, meat-side up, into a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. (It may be necessary to cut the ribs in half for them to fit into the pan).
• Cover the pan or baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil, and then bake until the meat falls easily from the bones, 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours. We like to check the ribs after 2 hours to see how they are progressing. The ribs are done when the meat is cooked through and tender.
• While the ribs bake, make the barbecue sauce. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the cumin and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
• Add the ketchup, hot chili sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine, season with salt then cook for 2 minutes. Set aside in preparation for the ribs to finish roasting.
• Remove the ribs from the oven, discard the aluminum foil and generously brush both sides with barbecue sauce.
• Optional: Move an oven rack near the top of the oven. Turn broiler to high and broil the ribs for 3-4 minutes, just until the barbecue sauce begins to caramelize. (Keep a close eye on the ribs while they broil so the sauce does not burn.)
• Store baked ribs, in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze, wrapped in foil or freezer paper and in an airtight container, for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator, and then reheat.
• To reheat the ribs, wrap in foil or parchment paper and place into a 300°F oven until warmed through, about 30 minutes. If you have some leftover, slather some extra sauce that's been warmed over the ribs before serving.

JIM'S "DON'T SPARE THE SPARERIBS" RIBS

Steps:

• At least the night before you make the ribs, if not earlier, combine the BBQ sauce ingredients in a saucepan.
• Simmer over medium low heat for 1/2 an hour.
• Chill overnight (keeps several months in the refrigerator).
• The night before you make the ribs, combine the spice rub ingredients in a bowl, and mix together well.
• Pat about 1/3 of the total spice rub on the top and bottom of the rib slabs.
• Allow to sit, refrigerated, overnight.
• The next day, about 5 hours before dinner, take the ribs out of the fridge, sprinkle top and bottom with about half of the remaining spice rub.
• Let sit at room temperature for 45 minutes.
• Take BBQ sauce out of refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature.
• Heat oven to 200- 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
• After the ribs sit at room temperature, put them in the oven on a large sheet tray, or indeed several large sheet trays if needed.
• Bake 4 hours.
• If the ribs start to look dry, baste them with a little beer.
• About halfway through cooking time, sprinkle ribs with the rest of the spice rub.
• about 45 minutes before ribs are done, brush with a fairly liberal amount of the BBQ sauce.
• Once ribs are done, baste them with more sauce, if you like.
• Let ribs sit 10 minutes before cutting into individual ribs, or 1/2 slabs, as I prefer.
• Serve with plenty of extra sauce on the side, and plenty of napkins.
