2 Tablespoons of Smoky Onion

3 Tablespoons brown or grainy mustard 
¼ cup water 
¾ cup packed dark brown sugar  (always pack down brown sugar when measuring by volume)
2 Tablespoons Smoky Onion

Instructions 

For the Ribs:

1. To prepare the ribs, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread a 24 inch sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil, shiny side up, on a work surface.  Place the rack of baby back ribs, on the foil and rub with 2 Tablespoons of smoky onion. Make sure the entire rack is coated with the spice blend. Wrap the rack of ribs in the foil, sealed well,  like a packet, not letting any potential steam escape. Place the rib packet on a baking sheet.
2. Roast the ribs for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 250 degrees and cook between 1 hour 30 minutes  and 1 hour 45 minutes.
3. While the ribs roast, prepare the barbecue sauce. Place the apple cider vinegar, mustard, water, dark brown sugar, and smoky onion spice blend  in a small or medium nonreactive saucepan. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce heat to medium and leave to simmer until the sauce has reduced by half, it should take about 15-20 minutes. The sauce should thicken as it reduces.
4. Remove the ribs from the oven and let cool briefly. Open the foil to carefully escape the steam. Transfer the ribs to a cool baking sheet and brush the ribs with BBQ sauce on both slides.
5. Turn on the broiler or raise the oven to 450 degrees.
6. Broil the ribs until the sauce sizzles and browns for 3-4 minutes on each side or bake the ribs in the oven at 450 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
7. Serve the ribs with more BBQ sauce on the side and your favorite Spicy Goddess Side dishes.
