BBQ Cider Pork ribs

This BBQ Cider Pork ribs is perfect for Summer parties as the first part of the recipe can be done in advance, the grilling/barbecuing only takes 10-15 minutes. For the glaze I used a special Honey Tennessee BBQ Glaze, but any shop-bought BBQ sauce would work or just use simple brown sauce. Serve the ribs with coleslaw, salad and grilled veggies.
