DEAR JUDY,

I FOUND THE SAME THING WHEN I WENT SEARCHING FOR THE RECIPE SO YOU'RE NOT
ALONE. HOWEVER I WAS LOOKING UP JUST SUCH A RECIPE FOR RIBS ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO
WHEN I GOT THIS ONE OUT OF JOHN WILLINGHAM'S WORLD CHAMPION BAR-B-Q COOKBOOK.
I WAS TOO BUSY TO TRY IT BUT I GAVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER WHO SAYS IT'S OUT OF THIS
WORLD! ANYWAY....UNTIL YOU FIND THE TONY ROMA RIBS YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER
HIS. THIS MAN HAS WON 17 1ST PLACE PRIZES AT DIFFERENT COOKOUTS AROUND THE
COUNTRY.

HONEY MUSTARD GLAZED RIBS

HONEY AND MUSTARD TEAM UP TO MAKE ONE OF THE BEST RIBS' GLAZES GOING,
ESPECIALLY ON GRILLED RIBS YOU MAKE ON THE BACKYARD GRILL.

ONE SIDE OF THE GRILL. SET AN ALUMINUM FOIL DRIP PAN IN EMPTY SPACE NEXT TO
COALS. PAN SHOULD BE AS LARGE AS THE SLAB OF RIBS. SET RIBS OVER DRIP PAN.

BONE EXTENSION EQUALS A MINIMUM OF 1/4" OR THE INTERNAL TEMP REACHES 180
DEGREES...WHICHER COMES FIRST. BRUSH THE RIBS WITH 1/4 CP. OF THE GLAZE.
