Frozen lemonade concentrate isn't just for drinks. It's also a genius shortcut for giving juicy spare ribs a sweet, citrusy punch. Of course it's still good for drinks too, so buy extra and make some tangy lemonade to serve alongside.

serves/makes:

ready in:
over 5 hrs

ingredients

6 pounds pork spareribs, cut into serving pieces
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup chili sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
1 can (6 ounce size) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed

directions

Place pork in 4-quart Dutch oven. Add enough water to cover pork. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer about 1 hour 30 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and let cool.

Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, lemon juice and liquid smoke to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in lemonade concentrate. Set aside.

Remove pork to rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches, or resealable food-storage plastic bag. Pour marinade over pork; turn pork to coat. Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate, turning pork occasionally, at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours.

Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove pork from marinade; reserve marinade. Grill pork, meaty sides up, uncovered and 4 inches from medium heat about 30 minutes, turning and brushing frequently with marinade, until glazed and heated through. Discard any remaining marinade.
