Method
- 01
Combine the Rub ingredients and rub onto both sides of the ribs (most on meaty side). Set aside to marinate for 20 minutes (or overnight).
- 02
Preheat oven to 160°C/320°F (all oven types).
- 03
Place ribs on a tray in a single layer. Pour apple cider underneath the ribs, cover with foil then bake for 1 hour 30 minutes or until the meat is pretty tender (Note 5).
- 04
Remove from oven, turn up to 180°C/350°F. Remove foil, drizzle with olive oil, then return ribs to oven for 15 minutes or until rub becomes nice and crusty.
- 05
Line a new tray with foil then baking / parchment paper (you'll thank me later).
- 06
Remove ribs from oven, transfer to lined tray. Pour any juices from tray over the ribs.
- 07
Flip ribs so the bonier side is up. Slather with Barbecue Sauce, then bake 10 minutes.
- 08
Remove from oven, then turn ribs over so the meaty side is up. Slather with Barbecue Sauce, bake 5 minutes. Repeat 2 or 3 more times until you've got a thick glaze on the ribs.
- 09
Cut ribs into individual or multiple rib portions and serve with remaining Barbcue Sauce!
- 10
Place all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes or until thickened.
- 11
Adjust to taste: sweetness with brown sugar / honey, salt and sour with vinegar. Use for glazing ribs and as a sauce for serving.
