GRILLED SPARERIBS WITH CHERRY COLA GLAZE

Got this from Epicurious. Make sure to use flat soda. Let the soda stand at room temperature for at least 4 hours or overnight, this is important because you will need to boil the soda. The sauce can be prepared ahead of time (up to one week), cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using. The ribs can also be prepared up to the baking step one day ahead, keep covered in foil packets and refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before continuing with adding sauce. For the Dijon mustard with horseradish, since I couldn't find any, I just add about a teaspoon or two of horseradish to the Dijon mustard. If you can't barbecue the ribs on the last step, just broil them in the oven until the sauce has caramelized.

Cool ribs slightly until you can handle the foil, pour off any fat.

2 cups water
1 (12-ounce) bottle light bodied beer
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons coarse sea salt
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 (2 1/2-gallon) plastic re-sealable bag
2 (4-pound) racks baby back pork ribs
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon dried summer savory
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup yellow mustard
4 (12-ounce) cans cherry cola, room temperature
2 cups cherry jam or preserves
2/3 cup Dijon mustard with horseradish
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons malt vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce

Steps:

  • For the brine: Combine water, beer, brown sugar, salt, and lemon juice in large mixing bowl. Stir until salt and sugar dissolve. Pour mixture into plastic bag. Add ribs and seal bag, removing as much air as possible. Refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.
  • For the rub: Combine brown sugar, savory, garlic, paprika and cloves in a small mixing bowl and blend. Remove ribs from refrigerator and from brine. Pat dry with a paper towel. Brush the ribs with mustard to coat evenly. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over ribs and let stand at room temperature.
  • For the glaze: Pour cherry cola in cooking pot over medium-high heat. Cook until cola is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 45 minutes. Add jam, mustard, soy sauce, vinegar, and hot pepper sauce into the cooking pot and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the mixture is reduced to 2 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes. Pour mixture into a bowl and take to grill for glazing.
  • Preheat barbecue grill. If using charcoal grill, light briquettes in chimney. If using 3 burner gas grill, light 2 burners on opposite ends and leave middle burner off. If using 2 burner gas grill, light only 1 burner. Take a disposable pan and place it over the unlit burner. If using the charcoal grill place half on each side of the pan. The pan will be used to collect excess.
  • Place ribs on rack over aluminum pan, meat side up. Cover grill and cook until ribs are tender and meat pulls away from bone by 1/4-inch, turning and rotating ribs every 1/2 hour. Before rotating brush the glaze generously on each side. Allow to cook for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from grill and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ribs: Select high-quality spareribs with good marbling for extra flavor and tenderness.
  • Remove the Membrane: Before cooking, remove the tough membrane from the back of the ribs for better seasoning absorption.
  • Prepare the Cherry Cola Glaze: Make the glaze ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld. Use a combination of cherry soda, cola, brown sugar, ketchup, and spices for a sweet and tangy glaze.
  • Slow and Low Cooking: Cook the ribs low and slow to achieve fall-off-the-bone tenderness. Grill them over indirect heat or bake them in the oven at a low temperature.
  • Glaze Frequently: Baste the ribs with the cherry cola glaze every 20-30 minutes during cooking to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the ribs to ensure they have reached an internal temperature of 195°F (91°C) for fully cooked and tender ribs.
  • Let the Ribs Rest: After cooking, let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in juicier and more flavorful meat.
  • Serve with Sides: Accompany the grilled spareribs with classic sides like coleslaw, baked beans, corn on the cob, or potato salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

Grilled spareribs with cherry cola glaze offer a delightful combination of sweet, tangy, and smoky flavors. By following these tips, you can create tender and flavorful ribs that will impress your family and friends. Remember to choose high-quality ribs, prepare the glaze in advance, cook the ribs low and slow, and baste them frequently with the glaze. With a little patience and attention to detail, you'll be rewarded with perfectly cooked ribs that are sure to become a favorite dish in your household.
