On a rainy day, Rainy Day Sweet and Smokey BBQ Ribs are a great way to warm up and treat yourself. A sweet and smoky dry rub is used to season these tender and juicy ribs, and then a rich BBQ sauce is used to glaze them.

Ingredients: 2 racks of baby back ribs. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 1 tablespoon smoked paprika. 1 tablespoon garlic powder. 1 tablespoon onion powder. 1 tablespoon chili powder. 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste. Salt and black pepper to taste. 1 cup BBQ sauce homemade or store-bought.

Instructions: Before you start, heat your oven to 275F 135C. Take off the membrane from the back of the ribs so that the flavor can get in better. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper with brown sugar in a bowl to make a dry rub. Spread the spice mix out on both sides of the ribs. Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil and put them on a baking sheet. After the oven is hot, bake the ribs for two and a half to three hours, or until they are soft and cooked all the way through. Warm up the grill or broiler over medium-high heat. Put the ribs on the grill or under the broiler for 5 to 10 minutes. Baste them with BBQ sauce and turn them over every so often until the outside is nicely caramelized. Take the ribs off the heat and let them rest for a few minutes. Then cut them into pieces. Add more BBQ sauce to the side of the Rainy Day Sweet and Smokey BBQ Ribs when you serve them. These ribs are tasty and full of flavor. They'll make any rainy day better.

Raining Day Ribs

I don’t remember the last time we have had a dreary rainy day since we moved to Florida.  Maybe it is because the frequent sunshine fades the memories faster here.  None the less today is one of those rainy days. I know that I often crave comfort foods even on a steamy rainy day has we have here.  100% humidity and 77 degree outside, but inside it is cool and comfortable. Thankfully.

So I decided that tonight I am going to make a favorite recipe that was shared with me many years ago for slow cooked pork ribs.  Not a fan of pork?  You could easily do this same recipe with beef or lamb ribs. These succulent and tender ribs just fall off the bone after basting in their own juices all afternoon.

And the recipe, it doesn't get much easier than this….

For 4-5 pounds of ribs, blend the following ingredients in a small bowl: • 1 teaspoon Wildtree Garlic Galore seasoning blend or other garlic seasoning • 1 teaspoon Wildtree Absolutely Onion seasoning blend or similar • 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt • 2 teaspoons of Wildtree’s Lemon Pepper Blend (or according to your taste) • 2 teaspoons Wildtree’s Worcestershire Sauce • 2 tablespoons Wildtree’s Teriyaki Sauce • 2 teaspoons of celery seed (optional)

Place the ribs in a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour marinade over ribs, rubbing to coat evenly.I like to purchase pre-cut ribs as show below for this recipe or cut the ribs apart before slow roasting in the oven so that they are easy to serve when done.  I also just made a half batch of ribs, you can easily adjust the marinade up or down depending upon how many servings you need.Cover tightly with aluminum foil.  Place ribs into a preheated 225 F oven and bake all day.  

An hour before serving, brush a little Wildtree Cactus Pete’s Agave BBQ sauce on each rib.  Return to oven and finish baking uncovered.

These ribs can also be made ahead, refrigerated and then just rewarmed in the oven uncovered for an hour or until hot.  Or you could also easily do in a slow cooker following the same process.  They will not get caramelized on top like they do in the oven during the last hour but they will still be delicious. I am added corn on the cob and fresh watermelon to tonight’s menu to make it really feel like barbecue!  I hope you enjoy these rainy day BBQ ribs as much as we will!Come back later for additional pictures of the finished product…. _________________________________________________________
