Fabulous Cherry Ribs Recipes

SWEET AND SPICY CHERRY-GLAZED RIBS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C).
• In a small bowl, stir together the paprika, salt, granulated garlic, granulated onion, chili powder, brown sugar, and black pepper until well-combined.
• Rub the ribs with the spice mixture to cover both sides. Place ribs on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and wrap tightly.
• Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake for 2 hours, or until tender.
• Make the cherry glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine the thawed cherries and their juices, the Frank's RedHot® Buffalo Wing Sauce, lemon zest and juice, Worcestershire sauce, butter, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the cherries are tender enough to mash completely. Mash the cherries, then remove the pot from the heat. Let the glaze cool for about 20 minutes.
• Pour the glaze into a blender and blend on high speed until smooth for 2 minutes. Set aside until ready to use.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 450°F (220°C).
• Set a wire rack over a baking sheet. Place the ribs on the rack and unwrap and discard the foil. Coat the ribs all over with the cherry glaze.
• Return the ribs to the oven and bake until caramelized, 10-12 minutes.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing between the bones into individual ribs and serving.
• Enjoy!

CHERRY-GLAZED GRILLED PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Simmer flat cherry cola until reduced to 1-1/2 cups (about 45 minutes).
• Add next 5 ingredients.
• Simmer until reduced to about 2-1/2 cups.
• Put in large bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
• (Can be done up to 1 week ahead.) Preheat oven to 325.
• Place oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven.
• Salt& pepper spare ribs.
• Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in heavy-duty foil, sealing well.
• Put each rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Place each sheet on rack in oven.
• Bake until tender, switching racks midway, about 2 hours total.
• Remove from oven.
• Allow to cool a bit.
• Drain drippings from foil.
• Wrap up in foil again and refrigerate.
• (Can be done 1 day ahead. Remove from refrigerator about 1 hour before proceeding.) Reserve 1 cup of glaze from large bowl; set aside.
• Cut racks into individual ribs and add to large bowl of glaze.
• Toss to coat.
• (It's kind of hard to toss; I just painted the ribs using a BBQ brush.) Put ribs on medium charcoal grill for about 5-10 minutes, turning often so they won't burn.
• Serve, passing extra glaze.
