Carolina Country Style Pork Ribs

It’s the perfect time to break out the grill and get your barbecue on!  With country-style pork ribs on sale at Safeway for just $1.67/lb.  ribs should be on the weekly meal plan this week!

Here is a fantastic Carolina Country Style Pork Rib recipe that uses simple ingredients like apple cider vinegar, molasses and cayenne pepper to make a zesty and tangy sauce very different from traditional BBQ sauces in the bottle.  I think it’s great to try new BBQ recipes and decide which BBQ style your family prefers.  You really can’t go wrong with this sweet and spicy flavor combination.

Carolina barbecue traditionally uses a thin sauce made of vinegar and spices, and this recipe also has a sweet kick to it with molasses.  You can also use brown sugar in place of the molasses if you have that on hand in your pantry.  The end result is a finger-licking-good BBQ rib.
