  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
  • 1/2 cub maple syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup Bill Johnson BBQ sauce
Preheat oven to 275 degrees.

Season the ribs with salt, pepper and Mrs Dash Extra Spicy on both sides.  In a blender combine chipotle chiles, BBQ sauce, maple syrup and butter and puree until smooth.  Baste ribs with the sauce and roast directly on oven rack, with a drip pan below, for 6 hours.  Baste every hour.  The last 1-1/2 hours, loosely cover ribs with aluminum foil.
