1/2 cup apple cider
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard

Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, 6-8 minutes or until mixture comes to a full boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, 15-20 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly and flavors blend. Reserve 1/2 cup glaze.
STEP 4
Place ribs onto grill over drip pan. Cover; grill, turning occasionally and brushing with reserved 1/2 cup glaze, 20-25 minutes or until ribs are fork tender and heated through. Serve with remaining hot glaze.
Ribs are precooked to shorten grilling time and to tenderize meat.
