Pork Spare Ribs with Cider Vinegar Sauce

I decided to make spare ribs this weekend with a dry rub and cider vinegar sauce. It turned out well, the rub and sauce could be used for pulled pork also if you wanted to use pork shoulder. I added the dry rub and let it marinate overnight. Then I wrapped the ribs in foil and cooked on 300 degrees for 3-4 hours (until they are tender). Make the sauce over medium heat, mix ingredients, continue to stir until it comes to a boil and cook on low for about 10 minutes.

Dry Rub:
3 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
3 tablespoons coarse salt

Cider Vinegar Barbecue Sauce:

1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
1 cup yellow or brown mustard
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Add pan drippings for flavor

  3. those ribs will last you through the month of march. Did you put any liquid in the foil packets? or just let the juices do the diry work?
