“This is one of the entire family’s very favorite recipes. My son, Scott, will eat any leftovers for breakfast, but if he was there in the first place, there wouldn’t have been any leftovers! When my husband, Bob, and I divorced, the only thing he wanted was this recipe. And I wouldn’t give it to him.” – Jean Hansen
“Best ribs ever. The revised recipe came from when Mom lost the original and tried to recreate it from memory.” – Calla Ferre
“These ribs come out so moist and tender. It’s really best when marinated overnight. I’ve never met a person who didn’t go crazy over these.” – April Ferre
