Bob’s Farm to Table: Most pork ribs are riddled with fat, however boneless “country- style ribs” are cut from the pork loin, making them a far leaner, healthier option. We cook them low and slow, first coated with a spice rub and covered, and finally smeared with barbecue sauce and uncovered to caramelize. These sticky, sweet ribs “melt in your mouth” every time, just the way mom used to make them for Saturday night dinners on the farm!

HELPFUL TIP: The nutritional information in this recipe was calculated for country-style ribs cut from the pork loin, not the shoulder. The pork loin variety is the most popular and easiest to find, though some stores will sell both varieties.
