🥘 Ingredients
- 4 pounds country-style ribs (boneless)
- 1/4-1/2 cup apple-cider vinegar
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

📝 Instructions
- Place ribs on two layers of heavy duy aluminum foil. Pour vinegar over ribs. Combine black pepper and next 3 ingredients; sprinkle over ribs. Seal foil packet tightly. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Cool. Cover and chill ribs overnight (or just chill them for an hour).
- Saute green onions in oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until tender. Add barbecue sauce, preserves, and vinegar (juices from the first step); stir well. Simmer 1 minute; remove from heat.
- Grill ribs, uncovered, over medium-hot coals (350 to 400 degrees) 20-30 minutes, basting heavily with barbecue sauce mixture the last 5 minutes. Serve ribs with remaining barbecue sauce mixture.
