Apricot Glazed Ribs Recipes

APRICOT-GLAZED PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Place ribs in a large roasting pan. Whisk together apricot preserves, soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic powder until blended. Pour apricot marinade over ribs, cover, and place in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
• Remove ribs from the marinade and shake off excess. Place ribs in the prepared baking pan and season with salt and pepper. Pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer marinade for 5 minutes; set aside.
• Bake ribs in the preheated oven, basting frequently with the cooked marinade, until ribs are tender and meat pulls away easily from the bone, about 1 hour 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

APRICOT-GLAZED RIBS

Steps:

• To prepare rub, combine brown sugar, chili powder, mustard, pepper and onion powder. Spread rub over both sides of ribs. Sprinkle with salt.
• Preheat natural gas barbecue on low heat for 10 - 15 minute. Meanwhile, place each rack of ribs on a large piece of heavy-duty foil. For each piece, bring edges of foil together to form a package; close all edges with tight double folds.
• Cook over low heat on natural gas barbecue, turning packages over occasionally, just until ribs are tender, about 2 - 2 1/2 hours.
• Remove ribs from packages and place ribs on barbecue grid. Baste with Apricot Barbecue Sauce and grill over medium heat until ribs are richly glazed, about 10 minutes. Cut into serving pieces.

APRICOT AND MUSTARD GLAZED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• For the rub: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, paprika, cumin and 1 tablespoon salt.
• Lay 2 half-racks of ribs flat in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Repeat with the remaining 2 half-racks. Using your hands, coat each rack with the spice rub. Set aside.
• For the sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and 2 teaspoons salt and cook until translucent and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and chiles and cook for 2 minutes. Add the apple cider vinegar, and cook, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, for 3 minutes. Add the mustard and preserves. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook to allow the flavors to marry, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and carefully pour half the sauce over the ribs. Pour 1/2 cup of the chicken stock into the bottom of each dish. Cover the baking dishes with foil and place into the oven on the middle rack. Bake until the meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, cook the remaining sauce over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
• Heat a grill pan or a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat.
• Using a pastry brush, glaze the baked ribs with the reduced sauce. Place the ribs meat-side down onto the hot grill and cook until slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the ribs over and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Flip one final time, allowing the ribs to cook until perfectly charred, 3 to 5 minutes more. Remove from the grill and rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
• Serve alongside a bowl of any remaining sauce.
