Barbeque Ribs on the Grill!

Ingredients:
2 racks of ribs
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 bottle honey barbeque sauce
water
1/8 cup olive oil
aluminum foil
grill

Directions:
Start off by placing ribs in a glass casserole dish, rub with oil and then with salt and pepper. Now flatten ribs as much as possible and add water just to barely cover them. Ribs racks may be cut in half if needed).

Simmer in oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or just until tender; (don’t try to cook them too fast or they will become tough).

When ribs are finished in the oven, drain them, start grill on medium and allow to heat. Cover with foil and brush (or pour) on just a small amount of oil to keep ribs from sticking and burning. Brush on first layer of barbeque sauce after draining.

Once grill is heated, place ribs on grill. Cook covered for 5-10 minutes, then brush on barbeque sauce. Grill another 5-10 minutes, keep adding barbeque sauce until there is a thick layer of barbeque sauce.

If ribs become somewhat dark, that’s ok; the barbeque sauce tastes better cooked than raw. When barbeque sauce is all gone, the ribs are almost done. Grill 5 more minutes to finish cooking barbeque sauce, then serve.
