Jalapeno Ribs image

These ribs are unique because of the spicy rub and the combination of sweet brown sugar and spicy jalapeno peppers in the sauce. I always make them for my husband's birthday. -Shirley Manthey, Omaha, Nebraska

SUNNY'S ORANGE JALAPEñO PARTY RIBS



Sunny's Orange Jalapeño Party Ribs image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup orange marmalade
1/2 cup chopped white onion
1/4 cup brown sugar, light or dark
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 jalapeños, one seeded, both finely chopped
1 clove garlic, grated on a rasp
Zest of 1 orange (if using fresh orange juice)
Kosher salt and freshly ground coarse black pepper
1 cup orange juice (preferably fresh)
3 to 4 pounds baby back pork ribs, sliver skin removed
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 orange, sliced into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Add the marmalade, onions, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, jalapeños, garlic, orange zest, a pinch of salt and plenty of coarse ground black pepper to a medium pot on medium-high. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced and thickened. Remove from the heat and divide as follows: for the basting liquid, pour 1/4th of the sauce into a medium bowl and whisk in the orange juice. Pour the remaining sauce into a medium bowl to use as the glazing liquid.
  • For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Sprinkle the ribs generously on all sides with salt and pepper and place on a rimmed baking sheet, bone-side down. Brush lightly all over with the basting liquid. Pour all the remaining basting liquid into the bottom of the baking sheet and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Cook 3 to 5 hours, basting with the liquid every hour and re-covering tightly each time. After 3 hours, begin checking the ribs for doneness by gently pulling at the middle bone to see if it will release easily from the meat. The ribs are also done with about a 1/2-inch of the bone showing on the ends, or a pull at the middle bone feels like it will release the meat.
  • Once the ribs are cooked remove the aluminum foil and brush the ribs with the reserved sauce. Adjust the rack to the bottom of the oven, turn the broiler on high and cook the ribs until the glaze caramelizes, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven onto a cutting board, tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Cut into 1- or 2-bone slices and serve with orange wedges.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Pork Rib Recipes     Spare Ribs

Time 12h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon celery seed, or more to taste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 rack spareribs
2 slabs baby back pork ribs
1 cup apple juice, or more to taste
2 jalapeno peppers, cut in half lengthwise and seeded
½ cup beer, or more to taste
½ onion, chopped
¼ cup sugar-free strawberry preserves, or more to taste
3 tablespoons barbeque sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, or more to taste
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Blend kosher salt, cumin, oregano, minced garlic, chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, celery seed, and ground thyme together in a food processor.
  • Lay baby back rib slabs and sparerib rack on sheets of aluminum foil. Rub spice mixture all over ribs and fold aluminum foil up around each. Divide apple juice between each foil packet and fold foil edges together to form a seal. Marinate ribs 8 hours to overnight.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place jalapeno peppers, cut-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook jalapeno peppers under the preheated broiler until the skin has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins.
  • Blend jalapeno peppers, beer, onion, strawberry preserves, barbeque sauce, olive oil, garlic cloves, sea salt, and pinch ground black pepper together in a blender until sauce is smooth. Transfer sauce to a container, cover with a lid, and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place foil-wrapped ribs in a single layer on baking sheets.
  • Cook ribs in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Increase oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C) and continue cooking ribs until almost tender, 2 to 3 hours more.
  • Preheat smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Unwrap ribs, discard apple juice, and place ribs directly on the smoker.
  • Cook on the preheated smoker until meat surface is slightly dry, 5 to 10 minutes. Continue cooking, brushing sauce on ribs every 15 minutes and turning every 30 minutes, until tender, about 1 hour.

STRAWBERRY-JALAPENO BBQ RIBS



STRAWBERRY-JALAPENO BBQ RIBS image

If you have the rub and sauce prepared ahead of time most of the work is done. The rub and/or sauce may be used on almost any kind of meat. I usually always have some of each variety of sauce on hand in the refrigerator.

Provided by Earl Williams

Categories     Ribs

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 22

******** bbq rub
1 c sugar
1 c salt
1/2 c brown sugar (dried out by exposing on grease-proof surface)
5 Tbsp chili powder + 1 teaspoon
2 Tbsp ground cumin + 2 teaspoons
4 tsp freshly ground black pepper (fresh ground is important)
4 tsp garlic powder
4 tsp onion powder
4 tsp cayenne pepper
******** bbq sauce
1 c chopped onion
4 large cloves of garlic, minced
4 Tbsp cooking oil
2 c catsup
2 c strawberry preserves or jam
1/2 c cider vinegar
4 large jalapeno peppers
4 Tbsp steak sauce (your choice of brands)
4 tsp chili powder
********ribs
4 lb ribs

Steps:

  • 1. NOTE: The BBQ RUB and BBQ SAUCE may both be prepared in advance. They will both keep for weeks. The sauce should be stored in the refrigerator. They both are good on any meat you want to grill such as chicken, beef brisket, pork chops etc.
  • 2. BBQ RUB Combine all of the ingredients together in bowl, and then transfer and store in an air-tight container.
  • 3. BBQ SAUCE NOTE: You can vary the heat intensity of this sauce to suit your taste. Extremely Hot: Use six jalapeños and do not remove the seeds or ribs. Very Hot: Use four jalapeños and do not remove the seed or ribs. Medium Hot: Remove the seeds and ribs from two of the jalapeños. Mild: Remove the seeds and ribs from three of the jalapeños Mildest: Remove the seeds and ribs from all four of the jalapeños. No Kick at All: Do not use any jalapeños in the sauce. In a medium saucepan cook the onion and garlic in hot oil until tender. Stir in the catchup, strawberry preserves or jam, vinegar, jalapeño peppers, steak sauce, and chili powder. Bring just to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
  • 4. RIBS: Trim fat from ribs. Sprinkle the BBQ RUB evenly over both sides of ribs; rub into surface. (Cut ribs into serving-size pieces. This can be done before or after cooking) In a grill with a cover arrange preheated coals around a 13 X 9 inch drip pan. Test for medium heat above the pan. If desired, place ribs in a rib rack. Place ribs on the grill rack directly over the drip pan. Cover and grill for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until the ribs are tender. Add more coals as needed. Brush ribs with the sauce (I use the mildest sauce for basting) occasionally during the last 10 minutes of grilling. Heat a bowl full of each of the varieties of sauce (depending on your guest taste) until bubbly and serve with the ribs. I usually keep a jar of each variety of sauce in the refrigerator for using on other meats or on sandwiches.

SWEET JALAPENO BOURBON RIBS - DEE DEE'S



Sweet Jalapeno Bourbon Ribs - Dee Dee's image

These sweet, spicy hot ribs flavored with a Red Jalapeno Pepper Jelly paired with pinto's was the perfect combination for a crockpot BBQ. I served this dish with my Mom's Old Fashioned Mustard Potato Salad and Sweet Cheddar Biscuits that some claim are the Jim n Nicks recipe. This combination was well paired and a big hit!

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp lawry's seasoning salt
1 medium onion, choppped
1 10.5-ounce jar red jalapeno pepper jelly
1 5-ounce bottle a-1 steak sauce
3 Tbsp boubon, optional
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • 2. If in a slab, cut ribs apart; sprinkle with garlic powder, seasoning salt, salt and pepper. Place ribs on a rack in a broiler pan. Broil 5 1/2-inches from heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 18 to 20 minutes or until well browned, turning once. Add ribs to slower cooker and sprinkle onion on top.
  • 3. Combine jelly, steak sauce, bourbon and, if desired, chopped jalapeno pepper in a saucepan; cook over low heat until jelly melts. Pour over ribs; stir gently.

  • 5. Remove ribs; skim fat from sauce. Cook sauce and beans, uncovered, on HIGH for an additional 30 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add ribs just before serving to reheaat.
  • 6. NOTES: Jalapeno jelly is a key ingredient in this recipe; it melts into a sweet-spicy glaze that coates these ribs and beans. You can find jalapeno is bigger town grocery stores. I live in a small town and couldn't find it so I made my own. This is a very easy recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/red-jalapeno-pepper-jelly-dee-dees/quick-easy-other-appetizer-2 Country-style ribs are extra meaty. If they come as a slab, you'll need to cut them apart to fit them in the slow cooker. Broiling the ribs first browns them and adds rich flavor, and removes excess fat. Because of the sweet heat in these ribs I felt a sweet cheese biscuit was perfect for this dish: https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/sweet-cheese-biscuits-dee-dees/biscuits The perfect side dish https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/mamas-old-fashioned-potato-salad-dee/quick-easy-potatoes

ORANGE JALAPENO GLAZED BACK RIBS



orange jalapeno glazed back ribs image

These ribs have a bit of a kick to them. If you don't like it really hot, cut back on the jalapenos.Unknown source

Provided by Lynnda Cloutier

Categories     Ribs

Number Of Ingredients 9

three racks pork back ribs, about 8 pounds
sea salt and pepper
orange jalapeno glaze:
one jar orange marmalade, 18 ounces or 1 3/4 cups
1/2 cup chopped, seeded jalapeno peppers, three peppers
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
four garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried rosemary crushed
1/2 teaspoons sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. preheat oven to 325°. Remove the thin papery membrane from the underside of rib racks if present; slice the tip of a small knife under the membrane at the third rib and loosen until you can peel it off. Cut each rack crosswise in half; season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • 2. To make the glaze, mix all ingredients in a small pan; heat to simmering. Cook, uncovered, over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • 3. Place ribs in a single layer in one large or two small roasting pans. Cover the pans tightly with foil. Cook in the oven until the meat is fork tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove ribs from the oven; pour off drippings.
  • 4. Increased oven setting to 375°. Brush ribs with glaze. Return to the oven and cook, uncovered, until the ribs are glazed, watching carefully, about 10 minutes. Makes six servings.
  • 5. Note: to cook ribs on the grill, prepare grill for indirect grilling. Place ribs on grid over a drip pan or over off burners for gas grills. Grill, covered, till the meat is fork tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Brush with glaze during the last five minutes.

Tips:

- To ensure the ribs are cooked evenly, arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet. - If you don't have a baking sheet, you can also cook the ribs on a grill. - Baste the ribs with the glaze frequently to keep them moist and flavorful. - If you want the ribs to be extra crispy, broil them for a few minutes at the end of the cooking time. - Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or grilled corn on the cob.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give these jalapeno ribs a try. You won't be disappointed!
