Dr, Pepper Ribs

Ingredients
1 rack of baby back ribs
12 ounces Dr Pepper
1 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Directions
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Season both sides with salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper. Rub spices into the meat.

Place ribs in a large dish or resealable bag, pour the Dr Pepper over the ribs, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.

Preheat oven to 300. Remove ribs from the marinade and place them on a foil lined baking sheet. Reserve 1/2 cup of the Dr Pepper marinade. Cover ribs tightly with foil and bake for 2 1/2 to 3 hours until tender.

In a saucepan, combine the reserved Dr Pepper marinade, barbecue sauce, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Brush ribs generously with the Dr Pepper barbecue sauce. Broil in the oven or grill on medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes per side until the sauce caramelizes and becomes sticky. Slice ribs and serve with extra sauce on the side.
