These are the best ribs in the entire universe. They've been a family tradition ever since I can remember and they always turn out phenomenal. I'm not usually a big pork fan...but I LOVE these ribs! Sinking your teeth into one of these thick, juicy ribs, and then licking the sweet sauce off your fingers....it doesn't get much better than that. My mom made these for the super bowl this year and they tasted even more delicious than I remembered. They're so much better than any ribs I've ever had in a restaurant. The ingredients in the sauce are the secret. The peach preserves and brown sugar give it an amazing, sweet flavor that make them melt in your mouth. We had these with my classic biscuits (found here). Oh my lordy...I was in heaven.
Ingredients:
3 racks baby back ribs
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and black pepper to taste

2 cups ketchup
1 cup peach preserves
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
