Baby Back Ribs 

THE RUB
2 Tbs Paprika
1 Tbs Cumin
1 Tbs Garlic Powder
1Tbs Oregano
1 Tbs Lemon Pepper
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Pepper

THE BBQ SAUCE
2 Cans of Root Beer
Juice and zest of 1 orange, Lemon and Lime
10 Garlic Cloves Crushed
1 ½ Cups Brown Sugar
1 Medium Bottle of Ketchup

THE MARINADE
2 Cans of Beer
1 Tbs Horseradish
10 TSB hot sauce  

THE RUB
Mix all ingredients.

THE BBQ SAUCE
In a medium saucepan, reduce the root beer. Cut the orange in half and
squeeze the juice into the root beer-not the seeds. Place the orange rinds
in the root beer and let boil. Do the same with the lime and lemon. Chop 
the garlic and add to the liquid. When the root beer has reduced, mix in
the brown sugar and ketchup. Let thicken.

THE RIBS
Coat the ribs with the rub on both sides. Place the ribs on a pan and let
sit for approximately an hour. After this time, pour the marinade into the
pan with the meat and leave in the refrigerator, ideally overnight. Once
marinated completely, put the pan on the grill ( or in the oven) for
approximately 1 ½ to 2 hours.  I cook in oven at 250 for about 3 hours.
Remove the meat from the pan and put them on the grill, meat side down, 
over medium to high heat. Cook for a minute or 2, then lower heat and flip
the ribs over and stack them. Let cook for another ½ hour to an hour. While
cooking baste the ribs in the BBQ sauce.
