Sour-Cherry-and-Five-Spice-Lacquered Ribs image

These fall-apart baby-back ribs are rubbed with warm spices and glazed with a gingery soy glaze, sour cherries add a sweet, tangy note. The ribs cook over indirect heat on the grill (or roast in the oven), then are charred over a high flame. Brush on more of the irresistible glaze before serving!

Time 4h

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 scallions, green parts only (whites reserved for glaze, below), finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped (4 teaspoons)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger (from a 2-inch piece)
4 teaspoons five-spice powder
2 teaspoons ground coriander
Kosher salt
2 racks baby back ribs (about 4 1/2 pounds total), membranes removed
2 pounds fresh sour cherries, rinsed, drained, and pitted (5 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups packed dark-brown sugar
6 scallions, white parts only, finely chopped (3 tablespoons), plus 2 whole scallions, chopped, for serving
1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger (from a 4-inch piece)
8 ounces unseasoned rice vinegar
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut or safflower oil
Chopped fresh cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • Ribs: Stir together scallion greens, garlic, ginger, spices, and 2 tablespoons salt. Rub mixture evenly on both sides of ribs to coat. Cover and let stand at least 1 hour, or refrigerate up to 1 day; bring to room temperature before cooking.
  • Glaze: Meanwhile, combine cherries, brown sugar, scallion whites, ginger, and vinegar in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir to submerge cherries in bubbling liquid, skimming any impurities from surface. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cherries and scallions are very soft and liquid has reduced slightly, 40 to 45 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing to extract as much syrup as possible; reserve solids. Transfer strained syrup to a small saucepan; simmer over medium heat until reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely. Transfer reserved cherry solids to a blender and purée into a thick sauce; season lightly with salt. Refrigerate glaze and sauce in separate airtight containers.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325 degrees, or prepare a grill for indirect-heat cooking. Stir together soy sauce and oil; pour over ribs. Wrap ribs tightly in a double layer of parchment-lined foil, or place in a covered baking dish, and roast or cook over indirect medium-high heat 45 minutes. Uncover and brush liberally with thick sauce, then re-cover and return to oven or grill; continue to cook, brushing every 45 minutes, until meat is tender and can easily be pulled off with a fork, 1 hour, 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking (or preheat broiler with rack 6 inches from heating element). Brush ribs with glaze and grill over medium-high heat, flipping once, until crisp and very browned at edges, about 5 minutes. Finish with a final brush of glaze and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and scallions. Serve with remaining glaze alongside.

Grill ribs until brown and glazed, turning to prevent burning, about 5 minutes total. Serve, passing reserved glaze separately.

CHERRY-GLAZED GRILLED PORK RIBS



Cherry-Glazed Grilled Pork Ribs image

I found this recipe in Bon Appetit a few years ago. Prep time does not include 4 hours to let cherry cola go flat. Recipe calls for grilling at the end, but I think you could finish off the whole recipe in the oven. The sauce is delicious! Seems like alot to do, but well worth it!

Provided by LaLa Lola

Categories     Pork

Time 4h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 (12 ounce) cans cherry cola, flat (Pour cherry cola into large pot and let sit until it is no longer fizzy, about 4 hours)
2 cups cherry jam or 2 cups preserves
2/3 cup dijon horseradish mustard
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon hot sauce
8 lbs pork spareribs

Steps:

  • Simmer flat cherry cola until reduced to 1-1/2 cups (about 45 minutes).
  • Add next 5 ingredients.
  • Simmer until reduced to about 2-1/2 cups.
  • Put in large bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
  • (Can be done up to 1 week ahead.) Preheat oven to 325.
  • Place oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven.
  • Salt& pepper spare ribs.
  • Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in heavy-duty foil, sealing well.
  • Put each rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Place each sheet on rack in oven.
  • Bake until tender, switching racks midway, about 2 hours total.

  • Cut racks into individual ribs and add to large bowl of glaze.
  • Toss to coat.
  • (It's kind of hard to toss; I just painted the ribs using a BBQ brush.) Put ribs on medium charcoal grill for about 5-10 minutes, turning often so they won't burn.

  • Cook the ribs slowly: Bake the ribs in a preheated oven at a low temperature for several hours until they are fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Glaze the ribs: Baste the ribs with a glaze made from cherry preserves, honey, and Dijon mustard during the last 30 minutes of cooking for a sweet and tangy finish.
