Pork ribs with peach bourbon glaze topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 2 racks of pork spare ribs (about 450g each)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tbsp. chili powder
- 2 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp bourbon
- 0.5 cups peach jam
Preparation:
- In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, 2.5 teaspoons salt, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, chili powder, and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
- Place each rack of ribs on a large sheet of foil (you'll want to seal the ribs completely) and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle both sides generously with the spice mixture. Refrigerate the ribs, uncovered, meat-side up, for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 150°C.
- In another small bowl, combine the vinegar, bourbon, peach preserves, 2 tablespoons of water, and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Pour half the mixture over each rack of ribs and seal each tightly in foil, crimping the edges to form a parcel.
- Transfer the foil parcels on the baking sheet to the oven and roast until the meat is tender and falling off the bones, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Carefully open the foil packets and pour the liquid into a small saucepan. Bring to a vigorous simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has reduced by half and has turned into a syrupy glaze, 6-8 minutes. It will thicken further as it cools.
- Line another baking sheet with foil and carefully transfer the ribs to it. Position the oven rack on the top shelf and preheat the oven to broil.
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat the ribs with about half the glaze. Grill until browned and charred in spots, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Brush generously with the remaining glaze and return to the oven. Roast until the ribs are golden brown and charred in spots, another 2-4 minutes. Brush the finished ribs with the remaining glaze. Slice each rib between the bones and serve.
