Preheat oven to 275°F. Season ribs with rub. Sprinkle with olive oil and wrap in foil. Bake for 2 hours. Heat outdoor grill or barbecue pit. Remove ribs from foil and place on medium grill or barbecue pit over indirect heat until meat is browned, 20 to 30 minutes, occasionally basting. Serve with additional Grillin’ Sauce.

Praline Bacon Recipe

1 lb. Good quality thick cut Bacon
4 Tbsp Cane Syrup
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
3/4 Cup Pecans, toasted and chopped

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place a wire rack on a sheet tray. Combine the Pecans and brown sugar. Lay the bacon side by side on the rack, place in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is sizzling and starting to brown around the edges. The object is for the bacon to cook about 3/4 of the way through before adding the topping.

Push the partially cooked bacon as close together as possible on the rack and brush with the cane syrup, this will give the topping something to grab on to. Cover generously with the Pecan/brown sugar topping. Place back in the oven for about 10 minutes more or until the topping is bubbly and the bacon is good and brown. Let cool.

As the Praline Bacon cools it will set up and have a nice chewy bite to it.
