Barbecued Sage Spareribs

Lip-smacking grilled ribs everyone will rave about!

"Since these mouthwatering ribs are cooked ahead, they simply need to be browned and reheated on the grill. I love the easy last-minute preparation and magnificent results. Raves begin with the first bite."
-- Linda Caray, Fruitland, Idaho

You Will Need
6 pounds country style pork spareribs
1 medium onion, chopped
2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons mixed pickling spices
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage or 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 bottle (18 ounces) barbecue sauce


What to Do
1. Place ribs in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Add onion, garlic, pickling spices, sage, and hot pepper sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce heat.

2. Cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours or until tender. Cool slightly; rinse ribs with water to remove spices.

3. Pour barbecue sauce into a large resealable plastic bag or shallow baking dish. Add ribs; cover and refrigerate overnight.

4. Bring to a cool room temperature. Drain, reserving marinade.

5. Grill ribs, uncovered, over medium heat turning several times until browned and heated through, about 10 minutes.

6. Place marinade in a saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Brush over the ribs.
