Ribs

  • 2 racks pork back ribs about 3-4 lbs

  • 1 cup apple sauce
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 6 Tbsps lemon juice

Instructions

Rib Preparation

  • Remove the silver backing from the lean side of the rib racks. Be sure to use a non-serrated knife. Tip -if you can get a good start, usually on the narrow end of the rack, once you can get a finger grip on it you can often pull it off in one long piece.

  • Follow directions for your pressure cooker and fully cook the ribs. For mine it is 35 minutes on high.
  • Release pressure according to you pressure cooker instructions and remove ribs. Pour hot sauce over the hot ribs and allow them to soak in the sauce until ready to finish on the BBQ. (Can be a few hours to 2 days). You can also freeze the cooled ribs a this point for future.
  • When ready to serve heat BBQ and set to medium. Distribute ribs over the grill and allow to heat through, turning and moving so they don't burn. Serve once heated and sauce has caramelized,crisped a bit.
