Our family recipe for ribs has evolved to near perfection. These country-style beauties are a legend in our close circle. —Linda Schend, Kenosha, Wisconsin


Test Kitchen Tips
  • Ask your butcher for well-marbled country-style ribs to ensure they stay beautifully moist during this longer cook time. Leaner cuts tend to dry out.
  • Make a big batch of this dry rub, and keep a canister in your cabinet for spur-of-the-moment grilling. It also tastes great on chicken.
  • Get creative with your sauce; it's very flexible. Love mustard? Increase it. If you're a fan of fruity sauce, add some cherry or apricot jam. Or kick up the spice. The possibilities are endless.
