Recipe Recap: Ribs

On Sunday I made the most amazing ribs ever. Well I thought so anyway and I don't really like ribs to begin with. 

I even made them completely from scratch. Ok, well not completely, I didn't butcher the pig or anything. 

As I've mentioned before, I have my mother's talent for throwing stuff in a pot and it coming out AMAZING, and that is exactly what happened here.

This is what I did:

First I cut the ribs into three pieces (approximately 6 inches) and put salt and pepper.

Then I seared the ribs two at a time on super duper high heat in my dutch oven.

Once that was done, I removed the dutch oven from the heat and very slowly added a can of crushed tomatoes. (You never want to drastically change the temperature of any baking dish)

This is where the random throwing stuff in a pot comes into play. These are the approximate measurements: 
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup molasses
2 tbsp vinegar
2 tbsp yellow mustard
2 tbsp worchestire
5 splashes of hot sauce
Pepper

I then put the ribs back in the pot and put in to a 300F oven and cooked them for just over 6 hours. 

Again, these are approximate measurements, I started out with less honey and molasses and added more a couple hours in. It's all about personal taste, so you need to taste often to get it just right. :)

Like I said at the beginning, these were simply amazing! The bbq sauce was so awesome, we've actually kept the sauce to make pulled pork next week.
