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

Method
 

Dry Rub:
  1. In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt and pepper for the rub. Set aside.   
  2. 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.
  3. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  4. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until tender, about 2 hours.
Barbecue Sauce:
  1. 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.    
  2. 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. 
  3. 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.  
  4. Transfer to a cutting board, and cut the ribs apart. Option is to add more of the barbecue sauce to the ribs before serving.
