Grilled Baby Back Pork Ribs With Mustard-bourbon Sauce Recipe

	Conner909 / All my dishes 6 months, 2 weeks ago I believe I cut this recipe out of Bon Appetit several years ago. This is sooo good! Ok, it's a little labor intensive but it is worth every minute of it! I served it for company with Super Slaw and had plenty of sauce left over. I haven't figured out prep time....

I'm preparing the rub tonight, connor, and grilling the ribs tomorrow - I haven't made ribs at home for years because I'm always so disappointed in the flavor and tenderness...however, your recipe has inspired me to try again, so wish me luck! The rub and sauce sounds absolutely wonderful!!

Oh my, oh my - you will love these people! Fantastic rub, and to-die-for sauce (I could just eat it with a spoon!)...thank you, connor, for posting this - I FINALLY made ribs I could be proud of (but getting that membrane off took me FOREVER - I obviously need a lot more practice, because it HAS to be easier and faster than the way I did it...if you have any hints, please let me know). Stellar recipe - very, very delicious!
