Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 450 degrees rinse the ribs, drain them well and season them lightly with salt and pepper. place the ribs on a rack in a roasting pan (i didn't have one, so i laid 3 ribs of celery lengthwise in a 9 x 13 baking dish and put my ribs on top of the celery). pour 3 cups of water into the pan and cover the pan with foil. bake the covered ribs for 30 minutes.
• 2 carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven (watching out for the hot liquid in the bottom of the pan). remove the ribs to a platter and drain off all the accumulated liquid from the pan, wiping the pan dry and lowering the oven temperature to 300 degrees.
• 3 return the ribs to the pan. using approximately 1/4 cup bbq sauce per pound, brush the bbq sauce over the top of the ribs. bake uncovered, for 30 minutes.
• 4 remove the ribs from the oven, turn them over and baste top with another 1/4 cup of bbq sauce per rib. return to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
• 5 remove from the oven and turn the meatiest side up, baste with remaining bbq sauce. preheat the top broiler to 500 degree and place the ribs about 6 inches under the broiler. allow the ribs to broil for a few minutes, caramelizing the bbq sauce and then remove them from oven and serve!
