Honey Apple Ribs

3/4 cup bottled barbecue sauce
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup apple jelly
1/4 cup catsup
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1 TBS brown sugar
2 TBS sweet pickle relish
1-1/2 Tsp prepared mustard
1/2 Tsp ground cinnamon
3-1/2 Lb pork loin back ribs, cut into 2- to 3-rib portions

In a medium saucepan combine barbecue sauce, honey, jelly, catsup,
1/4 cup water, celery, brown sugar, relish, mustard, & cinnamon.
Cook & stir over medium heat until bubbly. Reduce heat. Simmer,
uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat;
cool. 

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.
