in the midst of problems, something really good!

So earlier this week i had a major computer melt down and one of the issues was the backup drive died and took a lot of information with it.
That included all my own recipes...
SO undaunted i went for cooking my pork ribs, inside because outside was just nasty!
My restaurant savvy friend gave me a a greater than 9.5 out of 10, which almost never happens.

Here is my recipe:

Pork Ribs in the oven

(when grilling is not going to work)

dry rub ratios: put on pork for up to 24 hours before cooking

·       4 raw sugar

·       2 apple wood smoked salt

·       2 paprika

·       1 dry chipolte peppers

·       2 dry ginger

·       1 dry minced orange zest

·       1 cumin

·       1 garlic-parsley powder mix

Wet rub (or just buy Lawry's Baja chipolte marinade and add orange juice and sugar)

·       1/2 cup of lime juice

·       1 - 4 oz can of tomato paste

·       2 finely minced chipolte peppers

·       1 teaspoon garlic

·       1/2 minced onion

·       1 tablespoon raw or brown sugar

·       1 cup orange juice

Mix well and then blend until smooth.

This is poured over the pork ribs before cooking.

Cooking:

·       the prepared ribs are placed in a baking pan and wrapped tight with foil

·       initial oven temperature is 220 F for 5 hours

·       raise temperature to 275 for an additional 2 hours

·       uncover, pour off wet marinade and fat into a sauce pan

·       broil ribs for 10 minutes

·        add 2 tablespoons sugar to the sauce

     ·   reduce sauce on the stove top and serve on the side

These are NOT competition ribs as the meat falls of the bone,

but, oh, they are so good!
