Pork Ribs Recipe (melt in your mouth!)
Traditional recipe for pork ribs that are melt in your mouth and covered in a sauce that is just as sweet and tasty as restaurants, but without all the nasty ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2-4 pounds pork ribs 10-20 ribs, preferably pastured
- 2-4 cloves garlic crushed
- filtered water
- 1 tsp sea salt
Sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup date syrup
- 1/4 cup brown mustard
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 1-2 tsp smoked paprika powder
Equipment
- 1-2 cedar wrap paper instead of foil or liquid smoke
Instructions
-
Simmer ribs for 30 minutes in a pot with enough water to cover along with sea salt and garlic cloves.
-
While ribs are simmering, make the sauce in a small saucepan on the stovetop on low heat to ensure all the ingredients blend well.
-
Remove ribs from pot, pat dry with a clean dishtowel, and place in roasting pan. Pour the sauce over the ribs and cover with sustainably produced cedar wrap paper. You can use foil too, but cedar wrap paper will do the same job and impart a delightful smoky flavor without the use of aluminum!
-
Bake at 225 F/107 C for 3-4 hours. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Be sure to only use organic brown sugar as conventional brown sugar from the supermarket is all or partially GMO (unless it is specifically labeled "brown cane sugar").
Substitute sustainably produced coconut sugar for the brown sugar if desired.
This recipe makes a lot of sauce, so select the amount of ribs you cook (2-4 pounds) depending on whether you like the ribs drenched in sauce or only just covered.
