Smokey BBQ Ribs

What you need:

    • 1 lb. ribs
    • 3 cloves minced garlic
    • 2 cups lemon lime soda
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup honey
    • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
    • 2 cups barbecue sauce
    • 2 Tbsp. liquid smoke

Directions:

    1. Cut ribs into smaller sections and put on a rack in a large shallow pan. Sprinkle minced garlic over the top of the ribs.
    2. Cover and bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for 45 minutes.
    3. About ten minutes before ribs are done, combine soda, brown sugar, honey, lemon juice, barbecue sauce, and liquid smoke in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
    4. Remove meat from oven and move to a clean pan*. Pour sauce over meat.
    5. Lower heat to 350 degrees. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, uncovered, and brush with sauce every so often.

*Note: I lined my pan with foil and then removed the foil and replaced it with new foil instead of dirtying two pans.
