Categories     Main Course

Time 6h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 racks baby back ribs
4 Tablespoons Hey Grill Hey Signature Sweet Rub
½ cup bourbon
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup maple syrup
8 Tablespoons butter
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup bourbon
2 Tablespoons ketchup
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons Hey Grill Hey Signature Sweet Rub
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat smoker to 225 degrees F.
  • Remover the membrane from the ribs and season on both sides with Hey Grill Hey Signature Sweet Rub.
  • Place ribs on smoker and smoke for 3 hours.
  • Lay out two sheets of 18-inch wide Reynolds Wrap Heavy Duty foil side by side on a large work surface. Put 2 Tablespoons of butter on each sheet of foil. Sprinkle each with 1 Tablespoons of brown sugar.
  • Remove the ribs form the smoker, place them meat side down onto the butter and brown sugar. Fold up all 4 sides of the foil without crimping to create a bowl (this is going to hold in the foiling liquid).
  • Pour the maple syrup, bourbon and remaining butter onto the ribs.
  • Bring together the long sides of the foil, so the ends meet over the food. Fold the foil together and then roll until the foil is tight against the ribs. Double fold the two short ends to completely seal the ribs in the foil. Place them back on smoker for 2 more hours.
  • While your ribs are smoking, make the glaze. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 mins until the glaze reaches a syrupy consistency.
  • Remove the ribs from the foil. Return them to the smoker and baste them with the glaze. Close the lid and smoke for additional 30-60 minutes or until the sauce is set and ribs are tender.

SWEET AND STICKY PORK RIBS

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pounds pork spareribs
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon molasses
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the ribs: Place the ribs in a roasting pan, cutting the racks in half to fit if necessary. Combine the garlic, rosemary, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt and cayenne in a small bowl, and rub the mixture evenly all over the ribs. Allow the ribs to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pour 1/2 cup water into the roasting pan and cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Roast the ribs until the meat is very tender and separate easily from the bone, about 1 1/2 hours. While the ribs are roasting make the BBQ sauce.
  • For the sauce: Place the balsamic vinegar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to medium and cook the vinegar until it is reduced by a third, about 8 minutes. Whisk in the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, molasses, Worcestershire, hot sauce and salt. Bring the the sauce back to a boil then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • To finish, remove the ribs from the oven and transfer to 2 aluminum-foil-lined baking sheets. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Brush both sides of the ribs generously with the BBQ sauce and bake uncovered for 10 minutes, until the sauce is browned and sizzling. Allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • To achieve fall-off-the-bone tender ribs, cook them low and slow. The ideal internal temperature for pork ribs is between 195°F and 205°F.
  • Use a combination of wet and dry rubs to enhance the flavor of the ribs. The wet rub helps to keep the ribs moist, while the dry rub adds a crispy, flavorful crust.
  • Baste the ribs with the maple-bourbon glaze every 30 minutes or so during the cooking process. This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • If you don't have a smoker, you can still make these ribs in the oven. Just preheat the oven to 225°F and cook the ribs for 3-4 hours, or until they are tender.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, or potato salad.

Conclusion:

These sticky maple and bourbon pork ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ribs are tender, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone, and the maple-bourbon glaze adds a sweet and savory flavor that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are cooking them in a smoker or in the oven, these ribs are sure to be a hit.
