Ingredients

  • 2 lbs pork back ribs
  • 2 Tbs dried minced onion
  • 1 Tbs onion powder
  • 4 tsp ground thyme
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tbs sugar
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp cayenne

Directions

  • In a small jar with tight-fitting lid, shake together all dry ingredients until well-blended. Rub dry mixture onto all surfaces of ribs. Grill ribs over indirect heat in covered grill, turning occasionally, until ribs are very tender, about 1-1/2 hours (OR roast ribs on rack in shallow pan in 350 degree F. oven for 1 1/2 hours).
