Baby Back Ribs with Sweet-Savory Sauce ~Want the secret to tender and juicy ribs? These ribs are gently simmered then grilled, producing tender meat that falls from the bone. I actually made this recipe with country style ribs, and this was TO DIE for! Although I made it at first with the hot sauce that it stated to use (it didn’t even really turn out to be sauce)… the sweet-savory sauce is DELICIOUS! I put the sweet-savory sauce over top of the hot sauce recipe and it turned out phenomenal.
