Ingredients
Instructions

- Simmer the ribs in the sauce until tender and flavorful.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use a mix of short and single ribs to achieve a balance of flavor and tenderness. If you can’t find Adolph's seasoning, a blend of garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper works well as a substitute. For a touch of sweetness, consider adding a tablespoon of brown sugar to the sauce. Browning the ribs enhances the flavor, so don’t skip this step.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Mrs. Marple's BBQ Ribs with a side of Delicious Cauliflower Salad for a refreshing contrast. Coleslaw or baked beans also complement the rich flavors of the ribs. For a complete meal, consider pairing with cornbread or a refreshing drink like Olde Virginia Wassail to enhance the BBQ experience.
Storage & Reheating

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of seasoning for the ribs?
Absolutely! If Adolph's seasoning isn't available, try using a homemade blend of spices such as paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. This will add depth and flavor to your ribs while still keeping them delicious.
How long should I simmer the ribs in the sauce?
Simmer the ribs in the sauce for about 1.5 to 2 hours on low heat. This slow cooking allows the flavors to meld and makes the meat tender. Check for doneness by ensuring the meat easily separates from the bone.
Can I make this recipe in advance?
Yes! You can prepare the ribs and sauce a day ahead. Just refrigerate them separately after cooking, then reheat together before serving. This allows the flavors to deepen and can save time on busy days.
