(Courtesy of Taste of Home)

Ingredients:
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1 tsp. pepper
3/4 tsp. salt
6 lbs. pork baby back ribs
1/4 c. honey
1 bottle (12 oz.) dark beer or beef broth
1/4 c. cider vinegar
1 bottle (18 oz.) barbecue sauce

Directions:
Combine the brown sugar, pepper and salt; rub over ribs.  Place ribs bone side down on a rack in a large shallow roasting pan.  Drizzle with honey.  Combine beer and vinegar; pour around ribs.  Spoon some of the beer mixture over ribs.

Cover tightly with foil and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.  Reduce heat to 250 degrees; bake 2 hours longer or until tender.

Preheat a grill to medium heat.  Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.  Drain ribs.  Grill, covered, over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until browned, turning and basting occasionally with barbecue sauce.  Serve with remaining barbecue sauce.
