Molasses Country-Style Ribs
Source: National Pork Board
Servings: 6

Country-style ribs are cut from the pork loin, and have more edible meat per portion than pork spareribs or back ribs. Serve with succotash (corn and lima beans) and red cabbage slaw.

4 pounds country-style pork ribs
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup molasses or sorghum
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup ground mustard
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 drops hot pepper sauce

Place ribs in a large shallow baking dish.

In medium bowl stir lemon juice into flour until smooth, stir in molasses, soy sauce, mustard, Worcestershire and hot pepper sauce; pour over ribs, turning to coat.

Prepare a medium fire in kettle-style covered grill. Grill ribs over indirect heat for about 1 "1 1/2 hours or until tender. Or roast in a 350 degrees F. oven, covered, for 1 hour; uncover and roast for another 30 minutes, until ribs are tender.
