Pork Baby Back Ribs

This rack is typically smaller than others found on the hog but packs a tasty punch. The tender, flavorful meat between the blade is known as finger meat and is one of the major reasons that this part of the pig is so popular. It is the most tender set on the hog, as it comes directly from the loin rather than the belly. Where spare ribs are big and meaty, baby back is smaller and more tender. This delicious cut is commonly served barbecue-style or roasted to crispy perfection. It can also be braised or baked.
