Honey Apple Ribs - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3/4 cup bottled barbecue sauce (My favorite is Head Country)
    1/3 cup honey
    1/3 cup apple jelly
    1/4 cup catsup
    1/4 cup water
    1/4 cup finely chopped celery
    1 tablespoon brown sugar
    2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
    1 1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    3 1/2 lbs pork back ribs, cut into 2 to 3 rib portions
Preparation
    In a medium saucepan combine barbecue sauce, honey, jelly, catsup, the 1/4 cup water, celery, brown sugar, relish, mustard, and cinnamon.
    Cook and stir over medium heat until bubbly.
    Reduce heat.
    Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
    Remove from heat; cool.
    Meanwhile, place ribs in a Dutch oven.
    Add water to cover.
    Bring to boiling.
    Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 45 minutes or until tender.
    Drain.
    Cool slightly.
    Place ribs in a 3-quart baking dish; pour cooled sauce over ribs.
    Cover and chill 4 to 24 hours, turning ribs once or twice.
    Before serving, remove ribs from sauce.
    Reserve sauce.
    Grill ribs directly over medium coals or broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for 15 to 20 minutes, turning and brushing with sauce once (watch closely to prevent burning).
    Heat any remaining sauce until bubbly; pass with ribs.
