Sweet Pork Baby-Back Ribs

These melt in your mouth pork baby-back ribs are sweet, tender and delicious served with corn and red pepper butter.

Some say to boil ribs first and others disagree. I've always boiled mine for at least 30 minutes before baking or barbecuing and they've always turned out tender.


Ingredients for Ribs

4 (1 1/4 lb) slabs of previously boiled pork baby-back ribs
1 cup catsup
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tsp. garlic powder

Ingredients for Red Pepper Butter for Corn

2 large roasted red peppers
1 lb. softened salted butter
4 large basil leaves
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 tsp. black pepper


Directions

Using a mixing bowl, combine catsup, maple syrup, garlic powder and mix well. Place ribs in a large baking pan and using a basting brush, completely coat pork with sauce. Pour remaining sauce over ribs. Cover and bake for 1 1/2 hours at 325º.

While ribs cook, place softened butter in a blender and blend until smooth. Add red peppers, garlic, basil leaves and black pepper. Continue blending until mixture is completely smooth. Spoon butter in a decorative serving bowl and serve with fresh corn.
