Somethin's Cookin' So Let's Eat: Oven Baked Ribs

A friend here in the DR showed me how to make these ribs shortly after we moved here. I was so sure they were going to be tough because ribs are supposed to be cooked 'slow and low' and that is all there is to it!! LOL!! Boy...was I wrong!! I tweaked the recipe a little and here is what it came out to be! You'll be sorry if you miss trying these ribs!! Somethins Cookin So Lets Eat!!

Oven Baked Ribs

3-4 lbs. baby back ribs

¼ c. salt

1/2 c. cider vinegar

Goya Adobo all-purpose seasoning salt

Salt and pepper to taste

favorite BBQ sauce

Place ribs in a large bowl in sink and pour the vinegar and salt on top. Wash the ribs with the salt and vinegar rubbing them into the ribs. This not only cleans the meat but helps to tenderize and soften the fat and membranes.

Rinse well with warm water until the water runs clear. Rinse bowl and place clean ribs in it.

Pull the sinew membrane off the back of the ribs.

Place a piece of heavy foil twice as wide as the cookie sheet, lay one end on the cookie sheet, covering the cookie sheet with the excess laying off to one side. Arrange ribs on foil and Cut off any excess fat if desired.

Be sure to wash your hands after handling raw meat.......

then sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper and Adobo (according to taste).

Take the foil not on the cookie sheet and fold it over to meet the end on the cookie sheet. Seal all the

edges of the foil by turning up and pressing them together.

Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Then turn temp. Up to 375 degrees for 30 minutes.

Remove from oven and carefully open foil and drain juices. Remove top half of foil.

Spread ribs with favorite BBQ sauce (we love "Sweet Baby Ray's Original) on both sides. Turn right side up and put back in oven uncovered for 15 minutes.
