BAR "B" BARN RIBS

This is a very simple, no fuss, copy kat recipe from the famous Bar "B" Barn restaurant in Montreal. Serves 6

4 lbs Baby Back Ribs 2 kg
Your favorite BBQ sauce

BASTING BARBECUE SAUCE
1/4 tsp Salt and pepper 1 mL
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder 1 mL
1/4 tsp Cinnamon 1 mL
1/4 cup Ketchup 50 mL
1 cup Brown sugar 250 mL
1/2 cup Apple sauce 125 mL
3 tbsp Fresh lemon juice 50 mL

Basting Barbecue Sauce

  • In small saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients, bring to gentle boil; reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes to blend flavors.


  • Preheat oven to 300°F [150°C]

    Tear off aluminum foil that is roughly 6 inches longer than ribs.

  • Coat ribs, front and back, with your favorite barbecue sauce. Place a 1/2 rack of ribs, one at a time, onto a piece of foil and wrap it tightly.

  • Place ribs on large cookie sheet with the seam of the foil wrap facing up. Cook for 2-1/2 to 3 hours, or until very tender.
  • Remove the ribs from foil and smother them with the basting barbecue sauce. 
  • Grill the ribs for 2 to 4 minutes per side or until you see several spots of charred blackened sauce. Watch for flames and do not burn.

    NOTE: Double the sauce recipe for lots of basting sauce. Buy lots of ribs when on special, they can be oven cooked, cooled, place in freezer bags and  kept frozen until day of BBQ.   On day of BBQ defrost ribs, smother with basting barbecue sauce and grill..  Even the sauce can be made ahead and freeze.
