Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
- 1 cup Peach preserves
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 pieces Fresh peaches (optional, for garnish)
- 1 sprig Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the pork ribs dry with paper towels and remove the silver skin (thin membrane) from the back of the ribs if it is still attached.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning blend all over the ribs, ensuring even coverage.
Place the ribs on the prepared baking sheet, meat-side up. Cover the ribs tightly with aluminum foil to trap moisture, and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours until tender.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the peach barbecue glaze. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the peach preserves, barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to simmer, then remove from heat and set aside.
After 2.5 hours, remove the ribs from the oven and discard the foil. Preheat your grill or switch your oven to broil.
Brush the ribs generously with the peach barbecue glaze on both sides. If using a grill, place the ribs on medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, basting with more glaze as needed. If broiling, place the ribs back in the oven under the broiler for 5-7 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Once the ribs are caramelized and slightly charred at the edges, remove them from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Optional: Slice fresh peaches and grill or broil them lightly for garnish. Serve the ribs with the grilled peaches and a sprig of fresh thyme for presentation.
Slice the ribs between the bones and serve warm. Enjoy your Just Peachy Ribs with additional peach barbecue sauce on the side!
