Molasses-Glazed Baby Back Ribs

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + marinating Grill: 70 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
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
