ICKY STICKY SWEET AND SOUR RIBS

Ingredients:

• 
  
• 1/4 extra virgin olive oil
• 2 medium red onions finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups red ale
• 3 cups dark brown sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 3-4 racks baby back ribs

directions:

Preheat a deep saucepan over medium heat.  Add onions and cook til translucent and tender.  Add garlic and stir..  Cook 1-2 minutes.  Add brown sugar and stir, cooking until dissolved.  Add vinegar, red ale, extra virgin olive oil and salt.  Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.  Be careful, as the beer tends to bubble up very quickly if heat is too high.  Line a large cookie sheet or cake pan with aluminum foil (depending on the size of your ribs).  Place ribs on pan with meat side up and baste with 1/2 of the marinade.  Loosely cover with foil and cook for 1 hour.  Remove the foil and flip ribs to meat side down.  Baste with 1/2 of the remaining marinade.  Return to oven and cook for 30 minutes.  Flip ribs back to meat side up and baste with the last of the marinade.  Using either a basting ball or a spoon, scoop the liquid from the bottom of the pan and baste the top of your ribs.  Continue basting every 15 minutes until the ribs have been in the oven for a minimum of 2 hours and 30 minutes (you can go up to 3 1/2 hours if you continue basting).  Remove from the oven and cover loosely with your foil.  Let ribs rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
