Description
A delicious recipe for Bacon Jam Ribs that combines the rich flavors of bacon jam and barbecue sauce for a mouthwatering dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 racks of baby back ribs (about 4 pounds total)
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup bacon jam (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F.
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
- Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, bone side down. Cover the ribs tightly with another piece of foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender.
- While the ribs are baking, combine the bacon jam, barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until well combined and heated through.
- Once the ribs are done baking, remove them from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400°F.
- Brush a generous amount of the bacon jam mixture over the ribs, coating them well. Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra bacon jam sauce on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the spice rub.
- Try using different flavors of barbecue sauce to customize the taste of the ribs.
