Barbecue Ribs: The Quest for the Best May Be In Your Home

Barbecue Ribs and homemade BBQ sauce can easily be prepared at home with a few simple steps…making your ribs the best ribs in town.


Homemade Barbeque Ribs with Sweet Is The Spice Sauce

There are 2 reasons why Barbecue Ribs are dear to my heart: First of all, I love barbecue ribs and the second reason is the rib rub created. The particular combination of spices I used on my first batch of barbecue ribs, created a smoky and perfectly spicy flavor. We didn’t know it then, but ‘Secret Spice’ had laid the foundation that kick started our business…along with a lot of prayer. 🙂

It seems like there are countless barbecue cooking contests on t.v., however I am always in awe by the amount of time consumed just in the preparation of the meat. And with the same intrigue, I am amazed by the countless hours of toiling and laboring that is done around a smoker. Unless I’m competing in a barbecue ribs contest, I want to spend the least amount of time as possible cooking ribs, and more time eating them.

Homemade Barbeque Ribs with Sweet Is The Spice SauceAsk anyone about the steps they take to ensure good barbecue ribs… The funniest thing is, everyone has a completely different idea and way of making them. The cooking temperature and times are different as are the methods of cooking, spices and sauces that are used to achieve the best barbecue ribs possible.

For many of you, so many options may leave you confused and exhausted by the thought of preparing your own barbecue ribs. For others, this is an opportunity for experimentation and discovery. So is there really a “right” way of preparing barbecue ribs? I say, “absolutely not!”

My personal method for cooking barbecue ribs is easy, simply braise in the oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes, then transfer to a grill to finish them off. Since we love barbecue sauce, but not all of the high fructose corn syrup and preservatives, I’ve also created homemade barbecue sauces using Secret Spice. My husband and I like our barbecue ribs tender and juicy, but not falling completely away from the bone. When we take a bite, we want to see a bite mark. We like to eat ribs with our hands, not with a fork and a knife. And, we like them saucy, accompanied by a lot of paper towels. The best part about ribs is that you can tailor the recipe to suit your needs.

 

Once you see how simple it is to make your own barbecue ribs, you’ll be making them all summer long.
