The Best BBQ Ribs - Our Kind of Wonderful

The Best BBQ Ribs

K and I love ribs, in fact, that’s normally what we have for our anniversary. This year we went to Bona Vida instead, but ribs are our go to. I found this recipe recently, and it is AMAZING. These ribs are our new go to, and I’m pretty sure we need, yes, NEED, to have them more than once a year, that’s how good they are. The best part? All done in the crock pot. I’m excited to experiment and try this recipe with different jams, there are so many options!

The Best BBQ Ribs - Our Kind of Wonderful

Ingredients

4 lbs. baby back pork ribs

–Spice Rub–

1 1/2 Tablespoons paprika

1 1/2 Tablespoons packed brown sugar

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons chili powder

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper

1/4-1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, more for more spice

–BBQ Sauce–

2 cups ketchup

1/2 cup molasses

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup (slightly heaping) seedless blackberry preserves

1/3 cup apple cider vinegar

1 Tablespoon reserved Spice Rub from above

1 Tablespoon liquid smoke

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. To keep dishes down line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

2

Cut ribs into 6 sections then rinse and pat dry.

3

In a medium bowl, whisk together Spice Rub ingredients. Remove 1 tablespoon Spice Rub to use in your barbecue sauce. Rub all remaining Rub evenly over the meat, then place ribs on your lined baking sheet. Bake ribs for 15 minutes on each side (30 minutes total) to sear meat.

4

Add all of the Barbecue Sauce ingredients to a medium saucepan and gently simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce and refrigerate to use after ribs are cooked.

5

Add a thin layer of remaining barbecue sauce to your slow cooker, followed by ribs. Layer sauce then ribs until complete, tossing to coat as needed to ensure ribs are evenly coated in barbecue sauce.

6

Cover and cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours or on LOW for 7-9 hours OR cook until ribs are fall apart tender. Rotate ribs once during cooking so they cook evenly. Cooking time may vary between slow cookers.

7

When ribs are tender, remove from slow cooker and brush with some Reserved Barbecue Sauce if desired or use sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
