Country Pork Ribs

Name: Country Pork Ribs
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 8 servings.
Ingredients: 1 cup grapefruit or orange juice; 1 cup ketchup; 1/2 cup cider vinegar; 1/4 cup soy sauce; 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce; 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish; 2 tablespoons prepared mustard; 2 teaspoons ground ginger; 1 to 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce; 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder; 4 to 5 pounds country-style pork ribs; 1/4 cup honey; 2 tablespoons brown sugar

These hearty ribs feature a lip-smacking sauce that's deliciously tangy with just the right hint of sweetness. "The marinade is absolutely terrific for country-style ribs, but I've found it's great with other meats, too," says Brian Johnson of LaGrange, Georgia.

Ingredients

1 cup grapefruit or orange juice
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 to 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 to 5 pounds country-style pork ribs
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions

In a bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients; mix well. Pour 1-1/2 cups marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the ribs. Seal and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain and discard marinade from the ribs. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 20 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the honey, brown sugar and reserved marinade. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Baste ribs with some of the sauce. Grill 15-20 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 160°, turning and basting occasionally. Serve with the remaining sauce.

Fantastic recipe!!! We like lime in our food, so I substituted lime juice for the grapefruit. I also served with both the remaining marinade sauce as well as the honey sauce so my kids could make their's sweet and I could make mine tangy.
