JANE's Notes:

This recipe is hot and spicy but the heat depends on your taste. I make them just a little hot but the sweet balances it out. This works on ribs or chicken as well.
Since time is important to me I can't take all day pampering ribs. So this is an easy and fast way to make ribs but with excellent results. My husband, being a fireman enjoyed making these for his buddies. How many can this recipe serve? Well...it depends on how many firemen show up!

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

The flavor of these ribs is so sweetly delicious... to the point that I just couldn't put them down!

These would be terrific done on the grill as well. Just cook the ribs in water as the recipe says, then grill over medium heat for about 45 minutes. At that point, coat with the sauce and cook longer if desired. (Watch the sauce closely, though, because all of the sugars in it make it easy to burn.)

Directions

Drop ribs in boiling water and cook 15 minutes. Drain well by patting with paper towel. Place ribs in large bowl. In another bowl, whisk all seasonings sugars and orange juice together. Pour mixture over ribs and coat well. I use my hands to do this. Pour everything into a roasting pan. Bake 350 degrees for 1 hour. 30 minutes into baking,baste the ribs and bake the additional 30 minutes. Take out of oven and let set for a moment. Sauce will candy as it cools.

NOTE: Baking time can vary depending on the different ovens.

At first I thought boiling water. No way par-boiling ribs. But I went
with it. And I'm here to tell you Jane "FANTASTIC". I Loved the heat
and next time I will throw them on the grill just to get the grill effect. But I'm sure I can do without the grill flavor. Thanks alot for the recipe. Had these with Faye's mixed greens and rolls.

Hi Ed! So glad you enjoyed them. I started boiling meat when I made meatballs. If you want to make great italian meatballs find yourself a good recipe and make them about 2 inches in diameter. Boil them for 15 minutes. Fantastic. Add them to your favorite sauce OR freeze them on a cookie sheet and then bag them up. Nice meeting you.

Jane, I'm a believer in boiling as of now. I have a good recipe for
Italian meatballs. I thank you for the great tip. I'm thinking that
I would drop the meatballs into boiling water,and not water and bring
to a boil for 15 minutes. Pleasure meeting you also.

Yup, that's how I'd do it. My friend boils chicken before he bbq's them so the chicken is cooked a little before grilling. I'm sure 15 minutes would do it for that, too...like the ribs. I'll look forward to finding your recipes on here. I think men and Amish women are the best cooks around!

Funny you should say that,one of the first ladies that got me into cooking was Betty and she's Amish. Took me 8 months before I was accepted into her home by the alders. Nothing better than helpng her
on the farm,and learning to cook in the wood burning stove and canning. I have a few recipe coming soon.

I have a "Church Peanut Butter Spread" recipe on here from the Amish where I used to live. They would serve it at all their community dinners to fill people up with bread so we wouldn't eat so much. Didn't work on me, unfortunately, I loved all their food. But, if you desire to add 10 lbs. to your figure, just make this recipe. I can't have it in the house. I give it as gifts. HA! I'd never make it as an Amish woman. I might be able to cook and bake but I'd never make it without indoor plumbing!

I will look for the peanut butter spread. LOL as far as the outdoor
plumbing goes, yes it is a different experience. I use to ask her how
much wood is needed to bring the stove up to 350 degree's. Look for a
recipe I'm posting called jubilent chicken. It's really tasty.
