37.

This past week I decided to make ribs...only because there was a really good sale, and we got 2lbs for $4. This was my first attempt at ribs...and honestly I had never thought about making ribs before, and I had no idea what I was doing. It wasn't too bad though, and they turned out really yummy, Chris, James, and I finished the entire 2lbs in about 5 seconds. Next time I'll make probably 6lbs...we are pigs...

I found this recipe for "easy barbecued ribs" and it looked easy and delicious, so I just went for it.  Oh, and I was out of brown sugar...so I made my own!

What you need to make brown sugar:

-I cup granulated sugar

- 1 to 2 tablespoons of molasses

Mix for about 10 minutes...

and boom brown sugar.

What you need for Barbecued ribs:

1 1/2 tbsp sweet paprika
1 tbsp light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1tsp of salt
1 tsp pepper
2 lbs pork ribs [leave the membrane on the ribs to help hold them together]
1 cup barbecue sauce
Vegetable oil spray

Mix together paprika, brown sugar, cayenne, salt, and pepper.

Rub the mixture all over both sides of the ribs

[I'm sorry for the...bloody picture...I didn't know ribs were quite so, uhm...gross]

Put in your slow cooker  with the meatier side against the walls, and the thicker side on the bottom. Pour barbecue sauce all over ribs.  Then cook on low, for 6-8 hours. I did 7, and they were perfectly done.

CAREFULLY remove ribs, I set mine straight on my broiler rack, bone side up. Pour remaining liquid through a mesh strainer, and into a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, and let simmer for about 15 minutes, so that it is reduced by about 1/3.

Brush sauce over ribs, and broil 4 minutes. Remove, and CAREFULLY flip over, and brush with sauce. Broil meat side up for 9 minutes, brushing more sauce on them 1 or 2 more times.

Serve with remaining sauce.

Looking at these pictures makes me really hungry.
