These Blackberry Barbecued Ribs are so good that you will lick your fingers clean! These delicious Blackberry Barbecued Ribs are brushed with a very easy-to-make blackberry barbecue sauce before grilling. My family really likes this blackberry sauce. Give this recipe a try!
- 1 1/2 cups blackberry jam (either store bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup tomato ketchup
- 1/2 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
- 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced (or to taste)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons hot sauce (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
- 1 (4 to 5 pound) rack pork spareribs
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
In a food processor or blender, place blackberry jam, ketchup, brown sugar, ginger, hot sauce, and pepper; whirl until ingredients are pureed.
-
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the prepared blackberry mixture and bring to a boil; boil 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Rinse ribs and pat dry. Trim and discard any excess fat.
-
In a large pan, either barbecue or bake 40 minutes the ribs until well browned, turning ribs over at 20 minutes. Baste one side of ribs with 1/3 of prepared blackberry sauce; turn ribs sauce side down and cook 10 minutes or until sauce browns and forms a thick, sticky glaze. Baste top of ribs with 1/3 of blackberry sauce, turn over, and cook and additional 10 minutes or until sauce browns and forms a thick, sticky glaze.
-
Barbecued ribs are done when they are tender enough to easily pull the meat from the bones and the internal temperature registers 180 to 200 degrees F. on your instant-read meat thermometer. Some people like their ribs cooked longer.
-
Remove from oven or barbecue and cut between bones into individual serving portions. Transfer ribs to a serving platter or individual serving plates and pour remaining blackberry sauce over ribs. Serve immediately.
-
Makes 4 servings.
I get many readers asking what cooking/meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking and baking. I, personally, use the Thermapen Thermometer. Originally designed for professional use, the Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is used by chefs all over the world. I only endorse a few products, on my web site, that I like and use regularly.
