Ingredients

  • 3 ½ pounds baby back pork ribs

  • 1 (16 ounce) jar apricot preserves

  • cup soy sauce

  • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar

  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

  • aluminum foil

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place ribs in a large roasting pan. Whisk apricot preserves, soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic powder together until combined; pour over ribs, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.

  2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.

  3. Remove ribs from marinade and shake off excess. Place ribs in the prepared baking pan; season with salt and black pepper. Pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes; set aside.

  4. Bake ribs in the preheated oven until tender and meat easily pulls away from the bone, about 1 hour 30 minutes, basting frequently with marinade. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
