Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 lbs spare ribs (cut into individual ribs)
  • ⅛ cup smoked paprika
  • ⅛ cup sweet paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 5 teaspoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • ⅔ cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • ½ cup honey
  • 5 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or liquid smoke to taste)
  • salt (to taste)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 300°F/150°C
  • In a small bowl, mix the spices for the rub.
  • Cover the ribs with the rub so they’re coated all over.
  • Place the ribs on a baking tray, and cover the pan with foil and bake for 2 to 2½ hours, until tender.
  • Meanwhile, to make the glaze, add all the ingredients to a saucepan, stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Simmer for 5 mins until thickened and sticky, taste for seasoning, and add salt to taste, then remove from the heat and set aside until needed.
  • At this point, they can be dipped in the glaze and grilled on the BBQ for 10-15 minutes (brushing with the glaze again as needed)
