Bourbon Barbecue Pork Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for the dry rub in a small bowl and mix together well.
• Tear a large enough piece of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil to place rack of ribs on it and be able to fully cover, meat side up. Evenly coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub, pressing it in with your hands.
• Fold up the sides of the foil to create a rim, and pour the apple juice in around the ribs. Fold the foil over the ribs and crimp it to create a tight seal. Tear off one more piece of large foil and wrap the whole thing again to ensure a tight seal.
• Place the wrapped ribs in the fridge to marinate for 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 225 degrees F and cook ribs for about 4 hours. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork, but they shouldn't be falling off the bone.
• Combine all the BBQ sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and allow the sauce to thicken and reduce by about a third, stirring occasionally.
• Preheat grill to high heat. Cover the grill rack with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Place the cooked ribs meat side up on the grill and brush the top with a layer of sauce. Close grill until the sauce is mostly dried, about 5 minutes. Brush another layer of sauce on top and close grill for an additional 5 minutes. Remove ribs from grill and lightly brush with one more layer of sauce.
• Cut the ribs into individual pieces and serve with extra sauce.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat: For gas, preheat to medium high, then turn off the burners on one side and turn the other burners to medium low. For charcoal, once the coals ash over, push them to one side.
• Whisk 1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 3 cups warm water in a large bowl. Add the pork and soak 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the bourbon, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, the garlic and ginger in an ovenproof saucepan. Put on the grill over direct heat; bring to a boil, then remove from the grill.
• Grill the onion and tomatoes over direct heat until charred, about 3 minutes per side for the tomato and 4 to 5 minutes per side for the onion. Add to the saucepan, then return the pan to the grill and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 15 more minutes.
• Remove the chops from the brine; pat dry. Brush with the vegetable oil and grill over direct heat, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the cooler side of the grill and cook 3 to 4 more minutes per side, brushing with the sauce. Serve with the remaining sauce and vegetables.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Place half the ribs in single layer on center of large sheet of heavy-duty foil. Mix sugar and seasonings; rub half evenly onto both sides of ribs. Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and one end to seal packet. Add 1/4 cup orange juice to packet through open end. Double fold remaining end, leaving room for heat to circulate inside. Repeat to make second packet.
• Place packets on grate of grill; cover with lid. Grill 45 min. to 1 hour or until ribs are done. Remove ribs from foil; discard foil.
• Return ribs to grill; brush with combined barbecue sauce and bourbon. Grill 15 min., turning occasionally and brushing with remaining sauce.

Steps:

• For the ribs:
• Place the vinegar, water, bay leaves, cinnamon, sugar, rock salt and onion in a large saucepan over high heat. Stir to combine and bring to the boil.
• Add the ribs, reduce the heat to medium and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the pork is tender.
• For the glaze:
• Place the bourbon, maple syrup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika and salt flakes in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until slightly reduced. Set aside.
• To finish:
• Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
• Remove the ribs from the cooking liquid and place, meat-side down, in a large deep-sided ovenproof dish. Top with the glaze and roast for 15 minutes.
• Turn the ribs over, baste with the glaze and roast for a further 15 minutes or until the pork is tender and the glaze is reduced. Brush with any remaining glaze and slice to serve.

Steps:

• PREPARE Recipe #453973 for the SEASONING RUB.
• PREPARE Recipe #486192 for the BARBECUE SAUCE.
• PREHEAT oven to 300°F.
• RUB the SEASONING RUB mixture evenly over ribs (save any spare seasoning rub for another use).
• POUR one inch of apple juice (or water) into a roasting pan; WRAP ribs with foil and place into pan, foil-seam up; PLACE foil-wrapped ribs into roasting pan; BAKE between 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 hours (replenish liquid in pan as needed).
• REMOVE baked ribs from oven and pour off the fat.
• BASTE all sides of ribs with the BARBECUE SAUCE (Funnel extra untouched sauce into a plastic squeeze bottle or Ball canning jar then store refrigerated and capped).
• BARBECUE/GRILLING METHOD: PREHEAT grill to medium heat; SET grate four inches above coals/heat source; BRUSH grill grate with vegetable oil; PLACE ribs on grill; BASTE ribs with sauce occasionally; TURN ribs as needed; REMOVE ribs from grill when the sauce caramelizes and edges are lightly charred, without overcooking (about 15 minutes, or just slightly longer).
• BAKING METHOD: Preheat oven temp to 450°F Bake ribs unwrapped, top side down, for 8-10 minutes. SLIDE oven rack out carefully using oven mitts; TURN ribs over carefully with tongs; BASTE the top again with sauce; BAKE for a remainder of 8-10 minutes or until the sauce caramelizes and edges are lightly charred, without overcooking; ALLOW ribs to cool 10 minutes before serving.
• SERVE and enjoy.

Steps:

• To prepare the ribs place one rib rack meat side down on a cutting board and with a knife cut a small slit through the membrane at the end of the rack. Then use a paper towel and peel the membrane off the rack and discard. Repeat with the other rack.
• To make the rub combine the rub ingredients (sugar - celery seed) in a bowl. Rub mixture on both sides of the racks. Place ribs on a baking sheet and cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight). Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
• To make the sauce heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add and onion and garlic and cook for 2-5 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in red pepper flakes and tomato paste and cook for another minute. Stir in bourbon and the next 5 ingredients (tomatoes - brown sugar) an cook stirring until sugar dissolves.
• Bring the sauce to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half (30 minutes). Season with salt and pepper. Let cool. Puree in blender until smooth.(Can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or use immediately).
• Prepare grill by placing a 9 x 12 inch disposable aluminum pan in center of bottom rack in grill. Prepare charcoal grill or gas grill to medium low.
• Let ribs stand at room temperature for 30 minutes while preparing gril. Fold a paper towel in half and dip in oil - use it to brush grill racks.
• Place both rib racks, bone side down, on top of grill rack directly over pan (to catch drippings). Cover and cook ribs without turning for 3- 3 1/2 hours or until meat is tender but not falling off the bones. To maintain temperature of 275 - 325 degrees F you will need to add briquettes to each charcoal pile every hour or so.
• Transfer 1 cup of the sauce to a small serving bowl. Set aside. With remaining sauce brush both sides of the ribs. Cover and grill for another 15 minutes or until ribs are deep mahogany. Let stand for 10 minutes and serve with reserved sauce.
• ** These can also be made in the oven by cooking them in a 350-degree oven for 2 hours.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the onion, garlic, and whiskey. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until onion is translucent. Mix in the ground black pepper, salt, ketchup, tomato paste, vinegar, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and hot pepper sauce.
• Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Run sauce through a strainer if you prefer a smooth sauce.

Steps:

• Make sauce
• Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-low heat. Add green onions, white onions and garlic and sauté until tender, about 15 minutes. Mix in all remaining ingredients, adding bourbon last. Simmer sauce until thick and reduced to 7 cups, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Sauce can be prepared 2 weeks ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Make spice rub and ribs
• Mix first 7 ingredients in medium bowl. Rub spice mixture over both sides of rib racks. Arrange ribs on large baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Cut rib racks into 4- to 6-rib sections. Arrange ribs on barbecue. Grill until meat is tender, occasionally turning ribs with tongs, about 40 minutes. Using tongs, transfer ribs to work surface.
• Cut rib sections between bones into individual ribs. Arrange on clean baking sheet. Transfer 3 cups sauce to small bowl; place remaining sauce in small saucepan and reserve. Brush ribs with sauce from bowl.
• Return ribs to barbecue. Place pan of reserved sauce at edge of barbecue to rewarm. Grill ribs until brown and crisp on edges, brushing with more sauce from bowl and turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Serve ribs with warm sauce.
