| Place all ingredients for the rub into a container with a lid. Mix well by shaking, stirring etc... | Lay out a piece of freezer paper large enough to work with your ribs. Lay the ribs meat side down on the freezer paper, then using a butter knife and paper towels work the membrane off the back side of the ribs. Trim any excess fat if you want to. |

| Start with a pan large enough to fit the ribs on to catch any drippings from the braising process. Place a single layer of heavy duty tin foil on the pan, cut to a length a few inches longer than the ribs on each end. Lay the ribs meat side down on the foil, then using paper towels and a knife to start, pull the membrane off the back side of the ribs. At this point, slowly feel around to see if any bones will be poking out on this bottom side. Sprinkle a small amount of rub on this back side and pat it down, then flip. Sprinkle the rest of the rub on this side a little at a time while patting the rub into the meat. Place another layer of tin foil over the top, then fold the sides in together, then roll up the ends. Try to be careful with the foil so you don't poke any holes through with the rib bones. Refrigerate for 2 hours. | Line the bottom of a large baking pan with foil by folding two pieces lengthwise several times, then place the ribs meat side up on the foil. Place all ingredients for the rub into a container and blend well with a fork. Evenly spread the rub on the meat side only and pat/rub. Prepare a foil cover the same way using __heavy duty__ aluminum foil over the ribs and the entire pan. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. |

| Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Combine all braising liquid ingredients in a glass bowl, then microwave on high for 1 minute. Pull the ribs out of the refrigerator, then unwrap the foil on 3 sides and open. Slowly pour the braising liquid under the ribs. You should NOT have any liquid coming out of the foil. Roll the foil back closed, then place in the oven for 2 hours 45 minutes, then remove and turn on the broiler to 500 degrees. | Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Combine all braising liquid ingredients in a glass bowl, then microwave on high for 1 minute. Pull the ribs out of the refrigerator, then partially unwrap the foil and slowly pour the braising liquid beside the ribs. Roll the foil back closed, then place in the oven for 3 hours, then remove and turn on the broiler to 500 degrees. |

| (optional) If you want to reduce the braising liquid to use as a glaze instead of a store brand BBQ sauce, hold the ribs over a saucepan, allow a slight bend in the middle, and cut one or two holes in the bottom to allow the liquid to drain. Over medium to medium-high heat, reduce the liquid until it is almost at the consistency of syrup, slowly working with a spatula. | (optional) If you want to reduce the braising liquid to use as a glaze instead of a store brand BBQ sauce, hold the ribs over a saucepan, allow a slight bend in the middle, and cut one or two holes in the bottom to allow the liquid to drain.
