South Carolina-Style Ribs Recipe
  • Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1 hour 30 min.
  • Yield: 6-8 Servings
15 90 105

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds pork baby back ribs
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup prepared mustard
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

Directions

  • Cut ribs into serving-size pieces. Place ribs meat side up in a roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour; drain.
  • Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes or until slightly reduced. Remove from the heat; cool at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Drain ribs and discard cooking liquid. Bake, uncovered, for 30-60 minutes longer or until ribs are tender, basting occasionally. To grill, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Brush half of the sauce over ribs. Grill ribs, covered, over medium heat for 15-25 minutes or until browned, turning and basting occasionally with remaining sauce. Brush sauce over ribs. Yield: 6-8 servings.

When I mixed the ingredients for the sauce together, I realized this was the strong Carolina mustard-vinegar style sauce that I don't care for but my husband loves. As a compromise, I added 8 oz tomato sauce and 1/4 c brown sugar. We were both happy with the results ... tangy but sweet, and the mustard flavor was still prominent. Excellent.

I have made these ribs more times than I can count. Reserve some of the sauce for dipping while you eat. It's sooooo good. I love to have my volunteers over for brunch after my work on Saturday, so I've even wrapped the ribs in non-stick foil, baked at around 290 for three to four hours while I'm working, open the foil when I get home, pour in the sauce, wrap tightly and bake for another hour until company arrives. Everyone agrees, these are the best!
