Recipe(tried): Adam's Ribs

Simmering these in the Dr. Pepper makes them very tender and moist.

Adam's Ribs

8 country style pork spare ribs
Dr. Pepper, NOT diet
5 garlic cloves, slightly smashed
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
1 large onion, quartered
Your favorite BBQ sauce

Place ribs in large stock pot. Pour Dr. Pepper over ribs to cover. Add garlic, liquid smoke and onion. Bring to boil, lower to simmer and cook until ribs are tender. Usually about 1 1/2 hours, until you can put a fork through them easily. It depends on how meaty the country style ribs are. Sometimes I put the ribs in right from the freezer (I freeze them individually) and it takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours for those. These can be made ahead of time and popped into the oven for about 30 minutes before serving, just to warm them through.

Place ribs in baking pan. Pour BBQ sauce
over ribs. Bake at 350 for about 30 to 45
minutes. Or they can be put on a BBQ grill.
