This recipe is much easier than it sounds. It takes a while to prepare, but it’s well worth the wait. I usually cook the ribs the day before and grill them for a quick dinner the next night.
Ingredients
- 4 pounds pork spareribs
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2/3 cup apple butter
- 14 fluid ounces barbecue sauce (such as Jack Daniel's® Original No. 7), divided
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Cut spareribs into 6 portions. Coat with garlic, then sprinkle with onion powder, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle lemon juice over top. Wrap each portion in a double thickness of foil.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours.
Step 4
Remove from the oven. Unwrap ribs and drain drippings; transfer ribs to a baking dish. Liberally apply apple butter and approximately 10 ounces barbecue sauce. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Step 5
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and brush the grate with oil.
Step 6
Place ribs on grill, and cook, basting with the remaining 4 ounces barbecue sauce, until meat pulls away easily from the bone, 20 to 25 minutes.
