Suzanne's Baby Back Ribs

My aunt Suzanne just sent me this recipe and--in her words--these ribs are "probably just as good as any restaurant or better."

2 racks of baby back ribs

Marinade:
2 cups bottled BBQ sauce
1/2 c. Worcestershire sauce
1/3 c. fresh lemon juice
1/4 c. Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp. orange juice concentrate
2 Tbsp. fresh chopped garlic
1 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
3/4 tsp. ground thyme
1 tsp. natural smoke flavoring

1. From large rack of ribs cut manageable 4 rib pieces. Place ribs in large saucepot of water; heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, 60 minutes.

2. While ribs are cooking, in large saucepan, combine all marinade ingredients plus 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt; heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Drain ribs and with tongs dip ribs into marinade to cover all sides and arrange in one layer in large roasting pan meat side up. If necessary, add a little more marinade to top of ribs. Bake 60 minutes, until ribs are tender. Serve with remaining marinade on the side and lots of napkins! Serves 6.
