Slow Cooked Pork Ribs with a Spicy Peach Soy Glaze



Really yummy and easy to make, but forget the fast part. These ribs take 3.5 hours to cook and are perfect for a Sunday afternoon when you have the time. I used Country Style ribs in the picture but Baby Backs are even better. Your choice. The glaze or sauce was inspired by what I had in the fridge, let your fridge inspire you. BBQ sauces or glazes are easy and fun to create and there are not to many rules.

Ingredients:
Baby Back Ribs - 1/2 rack per person but if your really hungry go for the full rack.
2 T Cumin
1 tsp Salt
A dash Cayenne pepper - 1/8 tsp
Olive oil


For the glaze: Mix in a small bowl
6 T Peach preserve (apricot also works great)
4 T Ketchup
2 T Soy sauce
A dash Cayenne pepper

Method:
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a pan with foil that is large enough to hold the rack(s). I use a sheet pan. Rub a little olive oil on the front and back of the ribs
Mix the dry ingredients for the ribs, sprinkle and rub all over the ribs. If you want you can substitute your preferred dry rub. Cover tightly with foil and DO NOT make a slit in the foil.
Place in the preheated oven and go do something else for 3 hours.
When 3 hours have elapsed remove the foil, baste with the glaze and continue cooking for 15 minutes more. Baste again and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes. The entire cooking time will be 3.5 hours.

The sweet hot mixture of the glaze and the savory ribs go great with sauteed greens and a starch, like rice or potatoes.

Be sure to leave a comment and let me know how it came out.
