My Mom's favorite place to eat is Cornacopia Restaurant in Cashiers,NC. Now she can't get out, so I did some searching a while back & came up with a recipe that is pretty simular to thiers. Why pay $15 for a 1/2 slab with fries & cole slaw when I can make a full slab for the same price?

How To Make coca-cola bbq ribs

Step 1

THE DAY BEFORE: Remove membrane from back of ribs. Prepare spice rub. Rub the rub all over front & back of ribs. Double wrap in aluminum foil & refrigerate overnight.

Step 2

NEXT DAY: Gas grill (we have 4 burners) directions...preheat grill on high for 10 - 15 minutes. Remove ribs from foil. Once grill is heated, turn off 2 middle burneres & turn 2 outer burners to low (aka: indirect heat). Place ribs (bone side down) & grill for 1 1/2 hours (no turning the ribs - stays juicer that way).
Step 3

As the ribs are cooking, prepare the Coca-Cola BBQ Sauce (you can do this the day before as well so that the flavors marry together).
Step 4

COCA-COLA BBQ SAUCE: Combine the ingredients in a heavy saucepan & gradually bring to boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat slightly to obtain a gentle simmer. Simmer the sauce until reduced by 1/4 C, 6 - 8 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until ready to use. The sauce will keep for several months & can also freeze it. This sauce is also perfect for chicken, pork & even over steaks).
Step 5

After 1 1/2 hour is up, put some BBQ Sauce on top of ribs (not slathered & no need for saucing the bottom of ribs), then turn over & cook additional 1/2 hour. Take off when done. When serving...slather with lots of Coca-Cola BBQ Sauce & enjoy!
