Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients except ribs, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Prepare the ribs by removing excess fat and membrane.
- Brush the ribs with the prepared sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Grill or bake the ribs until tender and caramelized, basting with sauce as needed.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, marinate the ribs in the sauce overnight. If baby food peaches are unavailable, fresh or canned peaches can be pureed. For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Always check the ribs for tenderness by using a fork; if it goes in easily, they're ready. To enhance the smokiness, consider adding wood chips to your grill.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the barbecue ribs with classic sides like coleslaw or baked beans for a delightful meal. They pair wonderfully with a refreshing Duet Salad for a balanced plate. For a fun twist, try them alongside Foil-Grilled Peppers for added color and flavor. These ribs also make a great centerpiece for a summer barbecue.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap the ribs in foil and place them in a preheated oven at 300°F for about 20-30 minutes, or until warmed through. This method helps retain moisture and keeps the ribs tender.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute pork belly or even chicken if you prefer. Adjust the cooking time accordingly, as chicken will cook faster than ribs. Just ensure the sauce is well distributed to keep the meat flavorful.
What type of grill is best for cooking these ribs?
A charcoal grill adds a wonderful smoky flavor, but a gas grill works well too. Whichever you choose, keep the heat indirect for a longer, slower cook, allowing the ribs to become tender and fully absorb the sauce.
How can I make this recipe spicier?
For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the marinade. You can also incorporate diced jalapeños into the sauce for an extra layer of heat. Adjust the spice level to your preference!
