OVEN-BAKED SWEET AND STICKY PORK BACK RIBS

Steps:

• In a bowl mix soy sauce, orange marmalade, pineapple juice, honey, garlic, fresh ginger, lemon juice, rosemary and black pepper.
• Rinse the ribs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels; place half of the ribs in each of 2 heavy plastic ziploc freezer bags (1-gallon size).
• Pour half of the soy sauce mixture into each bag, seal bags, toss to coat ribs with marinade.
• Set in a large bowl and refrigerate from 8-24 hours turning occasionally.
• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a 11 x 17-inch or a 12 x 15-inch baking pan with foil.
• Set a rack in the pan, then arrange the ribs in a single layer with edges curving down on rack.
• Pour the remaining marinade from the bags into a bowl.
• Bake the ribs basting with the remaining marinade about every 20 minutes for the first hour, until the meat is well browned and pulls easily from the bones (about 1-1/4 hours total baking time).
• Transfer the ribs to a serving platter and cut between bones.
• Delicious!

SWEET SMOKED PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Stir salt, white sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, black pepper, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, and cumin together in a small bowl to make the dry rub. Rub the spice mixture into the baby back ribs on all sides. Wrap the ribs well with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking.
• Unwrap baby back ribs and place onto the wire racks of the smoker in a single layer.
• Place the racks into a smoker, fill the smoker pan with apple, grape, pear, or cherry chips, and bring the smoker to 270 degrees F (130 degrees C). Smoke for 1 hour.
• Stir together the apple juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and the barbeque sauce. Brush the ribs with the sauce every 30 to 45 minutes after the first hour. Cook the ribs in the smoker until the meat is no longer pink and begins to "shrink" back from the bones, 3 to 4 hours. Brush the sauce onto the ribs one last time 30 minutes before the ribs are ready to be taken out of the smoker.
• Once the ribs are done, wrap them tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest 10 to 15 minutes. This will allow the juices to reabsorb into the meat and make the ribs moist.

OVEN BAKED RIBS WITH SWEET AND SPICY SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the ribs meat side down on a cutting board. Locate the thin membrane covering the rack. This membrane can be tough when cooked. To remove, use a knife to gently slide under the membrane then using your fingers, pull the membrane away from the bones. If slippery or difficult to remove, use a kitchen towel to take hold of it and pull.
• Season both sides of the ribs with salt and pepper then place into a large roasting pan. Sprinkle with sunflower oil. Cover with two sheets of aluminum foil and roast in the oven at 150°C for 3 - 4 hours, until the meat falls easily from the bones.
• Remove the ribs from the oven, discard the aluminum foil and generously brush both sides with the sauce. Return the ribs to oven and turn the heat to 220°C and bake the ribs for 10-15 minutes, just until the sauce begins to caramelize.
