2 tsp. minced garlic.  Simmer for 30 minutes.

 

Remove ribs from the pot and cut into individual ribs. Transfer to grill or smoker and lightly brown on all sides. Place the ribs in a shallow baking pan.

 

When cool, sprinkle with ¼ cup BBQ seasoning and 1 cup balsamic vinegar.Refrigerate and marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

 

Pour 2 cups of your favorite BBQ sauce over the ribs, cover with foil and bake for 4 hours at 250 degrees.
