Description

Ingredients

• 2 pork rib racks, total weight about 4½ lbs
• ⅛ cup smoked paprika
• ½ cup pineapple jam (or preserves)Sauce Ingredients:
• 1 tbsp veg oil
• 2 medium onions, cut in half and thinly sliced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1¾ cups ketchup
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup + 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
• pepper, to taste
• Cayenne pepper, pinch
• ½ tsp hot sauce (I used Tabasco Chipotle Hot Sauce)
• 1 cup apple juice
• 1 round tsp oregano
• ⅔ cup pineapple jam (or preserves)

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Rub the pork ribs in the smoked paprika, concentrating on the meaty parts.
• Spread the pineapple jam over the meat sides of the ribs.
• Set ribs meat side down in a large baking dish or an aluminum foil lined baking sheet.
• Using additional foil, cover the ribs and form a tight seal around the edges.
• Cook in the oven for 1 hour 45 minutes.
• While the ribs are cooking, make the sauce according the the directions below.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and drain excess fat from the dish/baking sheet.
• Cut the ribs and place them into the baking dish (Its best if you use a baking dish at this point since you need to make room for that lovely sauce!).
• Increase the heat of the oven to 425°F.
• Pour the sauce over the ribs and cook uncovered in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.To make the Sauce:
• In a sauce pan, heat the oil on medium.
• Add the onions and garlic until softened.
• Add the remaining sauce ingredients to the pot and combine with a whisk.
• Increase the heat and bring the sauce to a boil.
• Once the sauce has boiled for a couple minutes and is bubbling, lower the heat and let it reduce while the ribs are cooking in the oven in the first part of the recipe.
• Make sure to stir the sauce a few times.
• Once the the ribs come out of the oven the sauce should be thicker. If youd like to reduce it further, you can - its up to you.
• Use the sauce as explained earlier. If youd like, you can save a little of the sauce on the side for dipping too!
