“Hoot-n-Holler” Baby Back Pork Ribs

Prep: 45 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Serves: 6-8

• 1 cup Our Family® barbecue sauce
• 1 jar (12 oz.) mesquite-flavored marinade
• 1 medium Open Acres® onion, peeled
• ½ cup Our Family® brown sugar
• 2 racks baby back pork ribs (around 1-½ pounds per rack)
• 3 bay leaves

1. In a large stockpot, place both racks of ribs; add enough water to cover ribs. Add marinade, bay leaves and onion. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat. (This will create foam on top.)
2. Reduce to medium-low heat; simmer 45 minutes or until ribs are just tender. Remove ribs from cooking liquid; drain on rimmed baking sheet. Heat grill to medium heat (about 350° F.)
3. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, stir together the barbecue sauce and brown sugar. Brush over both sides of ribs.
4. Place ribs on grill, bone side down, close lid. Grill for 7 minutes, turn and grill 7 minutes more.
