Apple Cider Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• Place a 2 lb. rack of baby back ribs in a foil lined shallow pan.
• Add 1 1/2 cups apple cider and cover lightly with foil.
• Bake at 250° for 3 hours basting every 1/2 hour or so with the cider.
• After 3 hours remove from oven and add rub or sauce to ribs.
• Drain off some liquid if needed.
• Return to oven and bake uncovered for 1 hour at 325°.

Steps:

• Remove membrane from the back of rib slabs. In a small bowl, combine dry rub ingredients and mix well. Reserve one tablespoon of the rub for the liquid seasoning mixture.
• Generously apply dry rub onto front and back sides of ribs. Gently pat to ensure that rub will adhere.
• Build a charcoal fire for indirect cooking by situating the coals on only one side of the grill, leaving the other side void. Add a small aluminum pan to the void side of the grill and fill it halfway with water.
• When the charcoal grill reaches 250°F, place ribs meat-side up on grill grate and cook over indirect heat for 2 hours and 15 minutes.
• Remove ribs from grill. Place each slab meat-side down on its own doubled aluminum foil square. The foil should be large enough to completely wrap each slab. Mix liquid seasoning in a small bowl. Pour 1/2 cup of the liquid over each slab.
• Then, tightly wrap and seal each slab with aluminum foil. Place the wrapped ribs back in cooker for 1 hour at 250°F.
• Remove ribs from grill, unwrap, and discard foil. Brush finishing glaze on both sides of ribs.
• Place ribs back on the grill for 15 minutes, or until sauce caramelizes.
