Honey Glazed Barbecued Baby Back Ribs
2 whole baby back pork ribs 1 cup Italian Dressing ½ cup dry white wine* Salt and freshly ground black pepper ¼ cup soy sauce ¼ cup honey ¼ teaspoon sage ¼ teaspoon thyme** ½ teaspoon paprika** 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper** 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar

Combine Italian Dressing and wine; set aside. Wash and trim fat from ribs; pat dry with paper towel. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of ribs. Place meat side down in a baking dish. Pour Italian Dressing/wine mixture on top and cover pan with aluminum foil. (May be prepared in advance to this point and refrigerated overnight).

Combine remaining 8 ingredients for basting sauce in a jar; shake vigorously to mix. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 375º F. Cook covered ribs for 1½ to 2 hours, or until very tender. Remove from oven. Place ribs on prepared coal fire. Baste with basting sauce. Turn frequently, basting after each turn, for 15 to 20 minutes, until ribs are a nice crusty brown. Yield: 4 servings.

*May omit the wine and increase the Italian Dressing to 1½ cups.

**May substitute 1 teaspoon of Essence for the thyme, paprika and cayenne pepper.

NOTE: These ribs are excellent with coleslaw and corn on the cob, or with ratatouille and a tossed green salad. Serve with beer or sauvignon blanc.
