King Family Barbecued Ribs

This recipe was developed about eight years ago.  My son-in-law, Christopher King, mentioned his family used to barbecue the best ribs.  This recipe is a combination of hints and suggestions many of the King relatives happily emailed me.  Instead of trying to create a new barbecue sauce, I used Christopher's suggestion for a whiskey based sauce and used Jack Daniel's.   The main component everyone remembered was beer!

Beer Marinade:

3 bottles of beer

spices, salt and pepper

Put everything in a bag large enough to hold the ribs.  (Or a very deep bowl)... refrigerate overnight

Preheat oven to 200F

Put 4 lbs. of pork ribs in a large, flat baking pan.  Put ribs and beer in the pan.  Cover with foil.  Bake for two hours.  Remove from heat.  Allow to cool.  Do not remove aluminum foil.

Barbecue Sauce:

Mix one bottle of Jack Daniel's Barbecue Sauce with Whiskey and two ounces of Grand Marnier. You can grate in a little fresh orange peel if you want a little tang.  Spread over ribs while barbecuing.
