Baby back ribs slathered in a simple glaze made with pure maple balsamic that is loaded with herbs and spices is a great addition to your dinner plans. These ribs are tender and delicious and so easy to grill.
Ingredients:
- 3 racks of baby back ribs
- 1/4 cup of favorite spice mix
- 1 Tablespoon Bella Nonnas Bella's Blend Olive Oil
- 1/2 Onion Minced
- 1/4 cup Bella Nonnas Maple Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 large lime, juice only
- 1 Tablespoon Bella Nonnas Neapolitan Herb Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon mustard
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Grilling Instructions:
- Preheat grill to 300 degrees
- Coat ribs with small amount of Bella's Blend and coat with seasonings of choice.
- Place ribs on indirect heat for 30 minutes.
- While ribs are grilling, make bourbon glaze
- Sweat minced onion in 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil over low heat until translucent and cooked, but not browned.
- Add balsamic vinegars and cook three minutes until slightly reduced.
- Add tomato sauce, 1/4 cup ketchup, lime juice, and mustard.
- Stir to combine well.
- Stir in brown sugar and garlic powder and continue cooking over low heat for 10 min.
- Glaze ribs and flip, cook another 30 minutes.
- Repeat about every 20 minutes.
- Cook ribs until they read 190 degrees. Remember low and slow will produce the most tender meat.
- Slather with additional glaze
- Let rest 10 minutes before serving. Cut into 2 to 3 rib portions and serve.
HELPFUL HINT: I like to stack my ribs on top of each other and rotate them every 30 minutes. They seem to stay juicier and cook a little more evenly.
