ingredients

for the BBQ sauce:

• 1 cup ketchup

• 1/2 cup apple juice

• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

• 1/4 cup white vinegar

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 1 tbsp paprika

• 1/2 tbsp dark chili powder

• 1/2 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp kosher salt

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp black pepper

for the ribs:

• 1 rack baby back ribs

steps

for the sauce:

1. Combine ingredients in a small pot, simmer on medium-low heat. 

2. Mix while simmering until sauce is even. Continue to simmer if you want it thicker (otherwise it will thicken when you broil it on the ribs).

3. Cool to room temp before transferring to a container. Store in fridge.

for the ribs:

1. Preheat oven to 400F.

2. Season top and bottom of a rack of baby back ribs (we use a seasoning salt or at a minimum, use salt).

3. Wrap in foil to create a neat, tight packet. Place on baking tray.

4. Bake for 75 minutes. Foil will expand.

5. Cut foil on one end to release steam. Pour out excess juices into a grease bucket. Unwrap foil.

6. Baste underside with BBQ sauce. Broil for 5 minutes.

7. Flip and baste top side with BBQ sauce. Broil for 5 minutes.

8. Cut and enjoy! We love having it with rice and pickles.
