Ingredients
Ribs:
- 2 whole slabs of baby back pork ribs
Dry Rub:
- 8 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Braising Liquid:
- ½ cup light rum
- ½ cup mango nectar or juice
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh to Market Honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Glaze:
- 1 jar (12½ ounces) mango chutney
- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
Preparation
Mix together all dry rub ingredients and sprinkle a generous amount over the ribs. Place ribs in refrigerator for 1 hour to allow flavors to develop.
Preheat oven to 250°F.
In a microwave-safe dish, mix together all braising liquid ingredients and microwave for 1 minute, or bring to a simmer in a small sauce pot. Place ribs in a baking dish and pour braising liquid over ribs. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and cook in oven for 2–2½ hours, or until ribs are tender.
Remove ribs from oven and transfer braising liquid to a sauce pot. Over medium-low heat, reduce the juices until they reach a thick, syrupy consistency like molasses.
Puree mango chutney, barbecue sauce, and ginger in a food processer. Add to the reduced juices and heat through. Liberally brush ribs with the glaze.
Place ribs in oven and broil for 3–5 minutes or until glaze begins to caramelize. Remove ribs from oven and pour remaining glaze over ribs. Cut into 2-rib portions and serve.
