This recipe is much easier than it sounds. It takes a while to prepare, but it's well worth the wait. I usually cook the ribs the day before and grill them for a quick dinner the next night.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 4 pounds pork spareribs

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 2 teaspoons onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • ⅔ cup apple butter

  • 14 fluid ounces barbecue sauce (such as Jack Daniel's® Original No. 7), divided

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Cut spareribs into 6 portions. Coat with garlic, then sprinkle with onion powder, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle lemon juice over top. Wrap each portion in a double thickness of foil.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours.

  4. Remove from the oven. Unwrap ribs and drain drippings; transfer ribs to a baking dish. Liberally apply apple butter and approximately 10 ounces barbecue sauce. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

  5. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and brush the grate with oil.

  6. Place ribs on grill, and cook, basting with the remaining 4 ounces barbecue sauce, until meat pulls away easily from the bone, 20 to 25 minutes.
