Barbecued Baby Back Ribs

Barbecued Baby Back Ribs

4 pounds pork baby back ribs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke, divided, optional
3/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/3 cup honey-Dijon barbecue sauce
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup honey

Cut ribs into serving size pieces; place in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Add salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon liquid smoke if desired; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/4 hours or until ribs are just tender. Do not overcook.

Meanwhile, combine barbecue sauces, ketchup, honey and remaining liquid smoke if desired. Drain ribs and transfer to grill. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat, basting both sides several times with sauce, for 8-10 minutes or until ribs are tender and well-glazed. Makes 6 servings.
