Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 mL) chili sauce
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) grape jelly
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) plus 1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) dry red wine or beef broth
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) Dijon mustard
  • 4 1/2 lb (2.25 kg) pork loin back ribs
  • 3 cups (750 mL) water

Steps

  •  
    1
    To make sauce, in 1-quart saucepan, heat chili sauce, jelly, wine and mustard over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until jelly is melted.
  •  
    2
    Heat coals or gas grill for indirect heat. Cut ribs into serving pieces. Place ribs in 4-quart Dutch oven; add water. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 5 minutes; drain.

    3
    Cover and grill pork over medium coals 15 to 20 minutes, brushing with sauce every 3 minutes, until pork is no longer pink and meat begins to pull away from bones.

    Heat any remaining sauce to boiling, stirring constantly; boil and stir 1 minute. Serve sauce with ribs.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Success : Follow these steps when grilling over indirect heat. Before heating a charcoal grill, place a drip pan directly under the grilling area, and arrange coals around the edge of the firebox. Grill food over the drip pan. If you have a gas grill, place the food over the unheated side.
  • Tip 2
    Oven Directions: Want to stay inside? Bake these ribs instead. Omit the water and simmering step. Place ribs on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake uncovered at 325ºF for 1 1/2 hours; brush with sauce. Bake uncovered about 45 minutes longer, brushing frequently with sauce, until tender. Heat any remaining sauce as directed in step 4.
