Ronnie's Notes

These ribs are both tangy and sweet. Eat them with corn on the cob, baked beans, Potato Salad with Lemon-Oregano Dressing (Section 2), and maybe a hunk of cornbread.

Tips: Second Thoughts If you prefer, grill the ribs on an outdoor grill. Cook them over indirect moderate heat for 25–30 minutes, turning them often and brushing with sauce until all the sauce has been used.
