Dry-Rub Barbecued Pork Ribs
from Ann Wilder of Vann's Spices
Serves 6

1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 racks of pork ribs, under 3 pounds each

1. Mix the dry rub ingredients together in a small bowl. Apply rub generously to the ribs, massaging the spices into the meat. Let sit for 30 minutes to 2 hours at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. Grill the ribs over the slow heat of a gas, charcoal or wood fire for 3 to 4 hours, until the meat releases from the bone.
