Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 racks of baby back ribs

1 1/2 C water

1/2 C vinegar and pineapple juice

1 C katsup

1T mustard

2/3 C brown sugar

1 t liquid smoke (you can get this at the bldg infront of the lung center at e.rod corner araneta)

5 cloves garlic and 3 shallots (minced)

a dash of cayenne, salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:

1. Prepare a pot of boiling water and place ribs in let simmer for an hour or until meat is very tender.

2. To make the BBQ marinade, in a saucepan combine water, vinegar, katsup, mustard, brown sugar, liquid smoke, garlic and onions. Mix well and bring to a boil. Taste the mixture and season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Reduce heat and simmer stirring often for about 45-60 mins until the sauce thickens. 

3. prepare 4 big zip lock bags and divide your sauce in each bag and place your ribs in. Let it sit for 3 hours to a day in your fridge.

4. When meat is ready, preheat the oven to 300, "FORK" your ribs so the sauce would be able to seep in more and then wrap your ribs individually with aluminum foil (tightly), bake for an hour. 

5. Place your left over bbq sauce in a sauce pan and heat it up. Pre heat your grill to medium heat. 

6. When ribs are ready, remove them from the foil and grill them for 4-8 mins on each side or until the surface is beginning to chat. Brush BBQ sauce over both sides occassionally and before you remove them from the grill.
