Ingredients
- 2 racks of baby back ribs
- 1 cup cherry preserves
- 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce, minced
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh cherry slices for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat.
- Begin by removing the silver skin from the back of the ribs. This helps to ensure they are tender and easy to eat.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cherry preserves, chipotle in adobo sauce, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade and glaze.
- Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 2 to 2.5 hours, turning occasionally. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, generously brush the ribs with the cherry-chipotle glaze, allowing it to caramelize on the surface.
- Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring every bite is moist and flavorful.
- Slice the ribs between the bones and serve with additional glaze on the side. If desired, garnish with fresh cherry slices for a beautiful presentation.
