Chipotle-Honey Baby Back Ribs

Spicy, sweet ribs, finished with a drizzle of honey

These super-simple baby back ribs are really easy to make. A quick stir of smoked peppers, honey and lime then they roast (actually steam in their own juices) until they are fork tender. A few minutes under the broiler ensures a flavorful brown finish. This recipe was featured on the Honey Episode of The Farm on public television.
