In a family, recipes are important ways of transmitting culture. But in these fast times, who else has the time to fill up a file case with recipe cards? There are so many great family recipes available on the internet nowadays. These baking recipes are easy to follow and the ingredients not hard to come by.

The traditional baking recipes might be seen as hard to follow because they require precise measurement. But in these times, there are easy ones that you can make in an hour or two. These actually trace their foundations to most family recipes, and one such example is baked baby back ribs.

Family recipes are not family recipes without their version of baby back ribs. The best one, however, is a combination of ingredients as well as a process that is easy to follow as well. First, you have to choose your perfect slab of baby back ribs. Next, you will assemble an interesting collection of ingredients that harmonize really well when put together.

For your baby back ribs, you will want to soften it halfway in a pressure cooker. This will ensure that it is soft enough to absorb the secret mixture but not to make it too tough to cook. After pressure-cooking it, take it out and put in a deep container. This next step will be followed by putting it in the refrigerator overnight.

Baking recipes come with a carnival of flavors. You can put together the following: honey, orange soda, barbeque sauce, chopped garlic, olive oil, ground basil, chili flakes, chopped onion, soy sauce, fresh cracked pepper and about a teaspoon of mustard. Put everything in the food processor and make it into a smoothie-type paste.

Next, pour everything into the pot with the baby back ribs but save around one fourth of the sauce. You will use this later. Cover the pot and put it in the refrigerator. The day you bake it, it will have absorbed the sauce really well.

Preheat your oven and try to pour the sauce so that every inch covers the ribs. You will have noticed by now that the sauce has lessened, and this is because the meat absorbed a good deal of it. To compensate, take out the extra sauce and put it in before you bake. While baking the ribs, you can occasionally drizzle some olive oil to keep it nice and moist without adding fat.

Drizzling oil to it is important. There are two reasons for this: you keep it from going dry and you add to the sauce without altering the taste. Because kids love the sauce, make sure there is more of it to go around.

As you take it out, make sure to scoop more of the sauce. It has thickened to a nice golden brown, almost maroon paste which is really yummy! Cut some slits onto it to get the sauce dripping in the middle. Serve it with a side of baked potatoes that work equally well with the famous sauce. As you modify it to your liking, you will definitely see it as a must-add to your collection of family recipes.
