Description

Get ready to embark on a flavorful journey with our mouthwatering Maple Bourbon Glazed Pork Ribs! These ribs are the perfect blend of sweet and savory, with a delectable glaze that will have your taste buds dancing with joy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 racks of pork spare ribs
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup bourbon
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs, which can be a bit tricky but is an important step to ensure the ribs cook evenly. Once the membrane is removed, pat the ribs dry with paper towels to prepare them for the flavorful glaze.

2. In a saucepan, combine the maple syrup, bourbon, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and smoked paprika. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened slightly.

3. Place the prepared ribs on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Generously brush both sides of the ribs with the maple bourbon glaze, ensuring even coverage.

4. Cover the ribs tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

5. Remove the foil and brush the ribs with more of the delectable maple bourbon glaze. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the glaze has caramelized and the ribs are crispy on the outside.

6. Once the Maple Bourbon Glazed Pork Ribs are out of the oven, let them rest for a few minutes. Slice the ribs and arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley, and get ready to delight your guests or indulge in this mouthwatering, finger-licking good dish!

Notes

For this Maple Bourbon Glazed Pork Ribs recipe, we recommend using pork spare ribs. Spare ribs are known for their rich, meaty flavor and tender texture, making them the perfect canvas for the sweet and savory glaze. However, you can also use baby back ribs if that’s your preference, just adjust the cooking time accordingly.

While the ribs don’t necessarily need to be marinated, allowing them to sit in the glaze for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the flavors really penetrate the meat. If you have the time, you can even let the ribs marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator before cooking.
