Babyback Ribs with Sauce

These ribs are absolutely incredible. I'm putting the original recipe on here, but when we made them at Mom's house over Christmas, we toned down the cayenne. So if you are sensitive to spicy foods, then I would do the same, but I personally really like the heat that the cayenne gives these ribs. Either way is amazing though! These ribs do take a little time to cook, so plan on that when you are preparing this meal. Enjoy!
