My husband grills up his luscious ribs recipe for our family of five at least once a month in the summer. The sweet-and-sour barbecue sauce is the perfect condiment for the moist tender meat. Serve it with other finger-licking foods like corn on the cob. —Kim Braley, Dunedin, Florida

These were amazing! I'm always experimenting to find the perfect rib recipe and now I've got it.

Wow! I loved these ribs! I've made ribs in the past, many years ago but gave up because they were always so tough. These have great flavor with the rub and were so tender and moist. This will be my rib recipe!!

Tender, sweet and spicy. Great recipe, thanks!

Have made this many times!! I have also used maple syrup in place of molasses a few times and have been very happy with results

Reviewed on Apr. 04, 2011 by MrsHanna

This was my first "Rib" cooking experiment and it turned out great! I doubled the seasoning recipe because I wanted more to rub on for an extra coat and did the same for the bbq sauce! Love the sweet n spicy combo!
