Ingredients

  • 1 rack back pork ribs

Rub: one rack of ribs

  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Barbecue Sauce: yields 1/2 cup

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

Dry Rub:

  • In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt and pepper for the rub. Set aside.   
  • Remove and peel away the white membrane/silver skin on the back of ribs with a paper towel. Place the rack of ribs in a large roasting pan or baking sheet and rub generously on the both sides with the spice rub. Cover and refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour before cooking.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake until tender, about 2 hours.

Barbecue Sauce:

  • In a saucepan, add and stir together garlic, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, ginger, chili powder and pinch of salt.    
  • Bring to medium heat and then lower to a simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the flavours are well blended about 10-15 minutes and once it becomes syrupy, remove from heat and set aside. 
  • Preheat the grill, setting the burners to medium and oil the grate. Place the rack of ribs on the grill and brush with barbecue sauce and grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until it becomes caramelized.  
  • Transfer to a cutting board, and cut the ribs apart. Option is to add more of the barbecue sauce to the ribs before serving.
