Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, onion and habanero. Cook, stirring, 5-7 minutes or until softened. Pour in blender, add tomato, sauce and vinegar. Blend until smooth.

Pour mixture back into skillet and stir in honey, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Cook over medium-low heat for 10 mins, stirring occasionally. Set aside.

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Sprinkle flour inside large foil cooking bag. Season ribs with salt & pepper and place in bag. Fold open edge of bag, following package directions. Place bag on baking sheet and bake for 75 mins. Carefully cut open bag and fold back, allowing steam to escape. Drain off accumulated juices and discard bag. Place ribs in a large baking dish and add 3/4 cup sauce (previously made). Stir to coat ribs with sauce. Let stand while grill is heating.

Heat gas grill to medium-high or prepare charcoal grill with medium-hot coals. Lightly coat grill rack with oil or nonstick cooking spray. Grill ribs for 4-5 mins per side, generously basting with sauce, until nicely browned. Serve with additional sauce on side.
