Earl Cooks Jurassic Pork - RIBS

I was in Sprouts Market the other day and I walked past their Butcher Shop, and something caught my eye...Country Style Ribs ON SALE! We love pork at our house, what with bacon, ham, pulled pork, sausage, chops, etc. We eat more pork than any other meat.These were very large and very good looking. I started with 3 simple ingredients: a new Applewood Rub from McCormick in their Grill Mates line; a Hickory BBQ sauce; and the Jurassic Ribs.
—I started by preheating my oven to a low 225℉. Low and slow was my approach, and I had all the time I needed.
—Next I covered the ribs with the rub on both sides.
—Then I placed the rubbed ribs on a baking sheet I had lined with SALT and covered the salt with a baking rack. The salt created a layer for the fat to drip into without burning and makes for quick cleanup.
—I placed the rack of rubbed ribs on the center rack of my oven for 60 minutes. After the 60 minutes had passed, I turned the top element of my oven on to apply heat from the top-down. You could also simply flip the ribs over if your oven doesn't have a top element. Now is a good time for rotating the rack of rubbed ribs front to back for even heating.
—Remember, cooking times depend on the thickness of your ribs, so adjust accordingly.
—Lastly, I remove the rubbed rib rack and slather on the BBQ sauce. Use your favorite, or make one of your own. Place the ribs back in the oven at 250℉ for 15 minutes on each side. By now they should be tender and juicy.

I was very happy with the new rub and recommend it! I served ours up with riced cauliflower and a few tomatoes and it was great, and provided lunch for my wife the next day. It was so good in fact that I went back to the butcher and and picked up several more meals worth for us. I will happily live in a Jurassic Pork World!
