Barbecue Ribs with Spiced Rum Pineapple Sauce
Description
This recipe begins with a homemade barbecue sauce simmered gently to blend ketchup, maple syrup, blackstrap molasses, and pineapple, which is then blended with spiced rum, Dijon mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and spices including ginger and cayenne. The sauce provides a complex balance of sweetness, smokiness, and mild heat. The pork ribs are prepared by wrapping them in foil with a diluted portion of this sauce and baking low and slow at 275°F for 3 hours, allowing the meat to steam and become tender.
Once cooked, the ribs are removed and grilled over medium-high heat with additional sauce generously brushed on, creating a sticky, caramelized coating with a slight char. The process imparts both tenderness and a flavorful crust. This method enhances the natural richness of the pork by integrating the spiced rum pineapple barbecue sauce thoroughly.
Serving these ribs fresh off the grill complements casual meals or gatherings, providing a centerpiece with a balance of sweet, spice, and smoky barbecue flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 baby back pork ribs rack of
Barbecue Sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup blackstrap molasses
- 1 cup pineapple crushed, with juice
- 2 tbsp spiced rum
- 1 tbs Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbs Worcestershire sauce (ensure that it's gluten-free)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, stir together the ketchup, maple syrup and molasses. Keep at a low simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- While your pot is simmering, add the remaining ingredients into a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Add the blender ingredients to the simmering pot and stir for 3-4 minutes more. Then turn off the heat.
- To prepare the ribs, line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil (enough to wrap the ribs).
- Take 3/4 cup of the sauce and mix with an equal amount of water. Pour this evenly around the ribs, then lightly wrap the foil around them.
- Place the ribs in a 275 degree oven for 3 hours. This process steams the meat, making it tender while infusing it with flavor.
- After the ribs have finished cooking, remove from the oven. Using tongs, place on a large platter to carry to your grill.
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Use the remaining sauce to generously brush both sides of the ribs.
- Place the ribs on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes each side. Serve immediately.
