Ingredients

• 4 to 5 pounds pork ribs
• Salt and pepper
• No-Cook Low Carb Bourbon Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows
• 29 ounces no sugar added tomato sauce
• 6 ounces no sugar added tomato paste
• 2 ounces bourbon
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons liquid smoke
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tablespoon hot sauce
• 3/4 cup sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar substitute, optional (recommended: Sugar Twin brand)
• 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
• 1 small clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 290 degrees F.
2. Season the ribs liberally with salt and pepper on both sides and place in a proportionate size deep roasting pan. Add 1 cup barbecue sauce and 2 cups water over the ribs until almost completely submerged; if not add a bit more sauce and water or use a smaller pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil, place on center rack of the oven, and bake for about 2 hours or until meat is almost falling off the bone. Remove, drain liquid immediately, and coat cooked ribs with fresh barbecue sauce. It is best to make the ribs a day ahead up to this point. Refrigerate overnight and bring to room temperature before grilling.
3. Preheat a grill to high. Place ribs on grill and grill for just a few minutes on each side. Serve.
4. Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk well to combine. Reserve.
