Ingredients

• 2 racks pork baby back ribs
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup dried oregano
• 2 tbsp. onion powder
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 liter lemon-lime soda
• 1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple or orange juice
• Barbecue Sauce:
• 1/2 cup granulated or packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup honey mustard
• 1/4 cup barbecue sauce of choice
• 3 tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 1/2 tsp white vinegar

Directions

1. Brush ribs with soy sauce. Combine oregano, onion powder and garlic powder; rub over both sides of ribs. Transfer to a large shallow roasting pan; refrigerate, covered, overnight.

2. Preheat oven to 225. Add lemon-lime soda and juice to roasting pan (do not pour over ribs). Bake, covered, until tender, about 3 hours.

3. Meanwhile, make barbecue sauce by dissolving sugar in hot water; combine with remaining ingredients, thinning with additional lemon-lime soda or juice if necessary. Reserve 1 cup for serving.

4. Remove ribs from oven; discard juices. Brush both sides with barbecue sauce. Grill ribs, covered, on a greased grill rack over low direct heat, turning and brushing occasionally with the remaining sauce, until heated through, about 10 minutes. Cut into serving-size pieces; serve with reserved sauce.
