Spicy Apricot Ribs Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the racks into 2-rib pieces, season with salt and pepper and put into a slow cooker.
• In a bowl, mix together the preserves, ketchup, mustard, soy sauce, garlic, chipotles, ginger and hot sauce. Pour the mixture over the ribs and cover. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours.
• When the ribs are cooked, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker and place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Skim the fat from the juices and transfer the juices to a pan. Place the pan on medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.
• Mix the cornstarch and 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the juices in the pan and cook until the desired thickness.
• Brush the ribs with the sauce and bake, brushing with more sauce every 10 to 15 minutes, until the ribs are glazed and sticky, about 45 minutes. Serve with extra sauce.

Steps:

• Place ribs in a large roasting pan. Whisk together apricot preserves, soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic powder until blended. Pour apricot marinade over ribs, cover, and place in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
• Remove ribs from the marinade and shake off excess. Place ribs in the prepared baking pan and season with salt and pepper. Pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer marinade for 5 minutes; set aside.
• Bake ribs in the preheated oven, basting frequently with the cooked marinade, until ribs are tender and meat pulls away easily from the bone, about 1 hour 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to approximately 250 degrees F.
• Lightly season the ribs with the five-spice powder so it forms a light crust. Put the ribs, meat side up, over an area of the grill with indirect heat. Let the ribs cook for 2 hours.
• While the ribs are cooking, prepare the barbecue sauce. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook slowly to render its fat, about 4 to 5 minutes. Discard the particles with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Reduce the heat to low, add the shallot and garlic, and saute until fragrant and slightly caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the light soy sauce and rice vinegar. Allow the liquid to deglaze the pan for a moment, and then whisk vigorously to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the hoisin sauce and ketchup, and continue whisking together until well incorporated. Simmer the glaze for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the honey, apricot preserves and brown sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ginger, whisk and keep simmering for 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the chili sauce and let the sauce simmer for a final 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from heat. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce in a separate bowl.
• After the ribs have cooked for 1 hour, begin basting them with the barbecue sauce. Coat them well once every 15 minutes, until the ribs reach an internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the ribs from the grill to a cutting board and let rest, tented with aluminum foil for 5 minutes. Slice the ribs between each bone and arrange them on a serving dish. Drizzle with the reserved glaze and garnish with the chopped green onions.
