Maple-Infused Baby Back Ribs
Ingredients
  • 3 pounds baby back pork ribs
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
Instructions
1
Place the pork ribs in a large container and cover them with water, making sure they are completely submerged.
2
Cover the pot and let it simmer for 1 hour, or until the meat is tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork.
3
Carefully pour off the water and transfer the ribs to a shallow serving dish.
4
In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and mustard powder.
5
Stir the mixture until it is well combined, then bring it to a low boil over medium heat.
6
Reduce the heat to its lowest setting and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly, then pour the mixture over the ribs.
8
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
9
Preheat your grill to a medium-low heat, ensuring that it is set up for indirect cooking.
10
Remove the ribs from their marinade and discard any excess liquid.
11
Transfer the marinade to a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over high heat.
12
Let the marinade simmer for several minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
13
Lightly brush the grill grate with oil to prevent sticking.
14
Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 20 minutes, basting them with the cooked marinade every few minutes.
15
Continue to cook and baste the ribs until they are nicely glazed and caramelized, serving them hot.
