This is the Holy Grail of barbecue recipes! I did boil the ribs for 29 minutes, then bake for an hour at 350 instead of grilling because I didn't have access to a grill at the moment. It was superb! There are no leftovers, and even my husband who hates pork ate these up! This will definitely be my "go-to" recipe for ribs!

These ribs are awesome! The only modification I make is that I simmer on low them in a stout beer for about 45 minutes instead of cooking them in the oven. I always get compliments when I make these.

this was pretty good. My husband and i loved the sauce. it reminded us of the Jack Danials sauce you get at TGIFriday's. However, the ribs were tough i thought. i may make them again but this time in the slow cooker. it's the only way i've found to make truely tender ribs that fall off the bone.

I did not care for this recipe. I am concerned my dislike had something to do with my choice of ribs. I tried the same type ribs on another recipe and they were much better. So that being said, these were tough and the rum flavor was not good. It was a ton of work for what I got in the end. I will not be making these again.

Made this for a group of friends and all raved they were the best ribs they ever had. Boiled the ribs for an hour. Put the ribs in ziploc bags with the sauce for 24 hours and finished them off on the grill for about 30 minutes, turning frequently to prevent the sugar in the sauce from burning. Outstanding! (Substituted some garlic powder for the garlic and used a dark rum)

Fabulous! We left out the rum but it still turned out fantastic. Did boil them for 5 minutes first. Thanks for sharing!

This was super good. While the sauce was sweet, it was very tasty! I added some pepper flakes, just to give it some heat. I took the tip to boil the ribs for an hour, then bake for an hour. Very tender!

I loved the taste of these ribs! I baked them this time, but I might try boiling them next time. I was out of rum so I made it anyhow, still good. I will make sure to get more rum and try these again!

Several people at my BBQ thought they were the best ribs they had ever had. Bake the ribs at 200 degrees for about 3 or more hours for tenderness. Boiling makes them chewy and baking at a higher temp makes them tough. Anything cooked at a low temp for a long time will turn out tender.

The sauce in this recipe is awesome! I don't like cooking with alcohol, so I substituted pineapple juice for the rum, and it was great! I took the advice of several reviewers and boiled the ribs first, but I was a little disappointed, as they weren't as tender as I thought they would be. I'll try the oven method next time. But my family and I looooved the sauce! This recipe is a keeper!

Everyone loved this. Seasoned ribs with a rub before baking and did not finish off on the grill because it was unavailable, but they were tender and great anyway. Several people mentioned they loved the sauce, and I will be using the sauce on chicken as well. Thanks for sharing!

I boil the ribs first then marinate overnight. My hubby gives them a quick grill on the BBQ and they are great!! I had 40 people over for a BBQ recently and am still getting asked for the recipe. BIG HIT!!

This was so easy to make! I did boil them for an hour as other reviewers suggested. My 11 year old (picky) daughter had never eaten ribs before (I don't eat red meat.) I asked her "just try them". She took one bite and said "These are so good!!" She has already asked me to make them again. I was extremely impressed! Thank you for a great recipe!

Very nice ribs! My boyfriend gave these a 4 1/2 star rating. The sauce was really good! I used the Asian garlic chili sauce as well with great results. I didn't use the rum, and I added a squirt or two of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce. The ribs did burn a bit on the grill, but they were still good. I wish the ribs were a little more tender (like my boyfriends are!) but maybe I'll try boiling them. Thanks for the recipe!
