Spicy Country Ribs
"I use country ribs for this recipe because they are meatier than baby-backs and tend to have fewer bones. You could however, make this with baby-back ribs and reduce the cooking time somewhat. I like to serve them with biscuits and cole slaw on the side."

I found this recipe at myrecipes.com (with almost the same blurb at the beginning, by the way) and intended to share it here. This is a wonderful recipe - cheap, tasty, easy. -
Very easy and very delicious!! Added to the top of my list for barbecued country ribs.My family thought they were great. Thanks for the recipe Deborah. -
Very, very good!! The meat melts in your mouth and the sauce cooks down into something grand. I skipped the broiling part and just poured the reduced sauce over top, since it was just family and everyone was too hungry to wait. They were still perfect. Thanks for a great recipe.

Hi all - I have been member of Recipezaar for a while now. I work as an executive assistant. I love to read - read everything, but scifi/fantasy is a particular favorite. Am actually a pretty easily amused and satisfied soul....am pretty much happy all the time.
