SPICED PORK RIBS WITH GUAVA GLAZE AND ORANGE-HABANERO MOJO

Steps:

• Mix together the cumin, ancho, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Heat grill to medium. Rub each rack with a few tablespoons of the spice mixture. Drizzle with oil and grill until golden brown and a crust as formed, about 10 minutes. Remove the ribs to a platter. Using side towels, lift the grate off the grill and place the roasting pan with the Steaming Liquid mixture on top of the coals or heat source. Return the grate to the grill.
• Return the ribs to the grill, rub side up, brush with some of the Guava Glaze, close the lid and continue grilling the pork, brushing with the guava glaze every 10 minutes until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. (If the steaming liquid evaporates before ribs are tender, add more soy and water to the pan) Remove ribs from the grill to a cutting board, brush with more of the glaze and let rest for 10 minutes. Cut the ribs, place on a platter and drizzle with the Orange-Habanero Mojo.
• Combine all ingredients in a heavy duty roasting pan.
• Whisk the guava jelly, Dijon mustard and orange juice together in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Heat oil in a pan on the side burner of the grill or on the grates. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft. Stir in lime juice, orange juice, zests and habanero, and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half, remove habanero and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cilantro and cumin.

GUAVA BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill.
• Season the ribs with the Creole seasoning, to taste. To make the sauce, in a medium pot over medium heat, add the tomato sauce with 1 teaspoon of Creole seasoning. Add the guava jelly, lemon juice, molasses, brown sugar, and sangria. Mix well. Cook for 15 minutes. Put the ribs on the grill. Brush the ribs with the sauce and grill for 10 minutes, then baste ribs again and turn them over. Baste this side as well and grill for 15 minutes. Continue to baste and turn until desired temperature is reached.

GUAVA CHIPOTLE RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Generously salt and pepper ribs. Lay out ribs in a single layer, in roasting pan. Cook ribs for 3 hours, turning once midway through cooking time. Remove from oven and cool slightly. Pour off any fat from bottom of pan. When meat is cool enough to handle cut slabs into individual ribs.
• While ribs are cooking, saute onion and garlic in olive oil in a large stockpot, until soft. Add remaining ingredients, except molasses and guava paste/jelly and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, reducing liquid by half, approximately 1 hour. Sauce should be thick, but still loose enough to pour. Add molasses and guava to sauce and continue reducing for 10 to 15 minutes until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If sauce becomes too thick, thin with extra guava nectar and/or beer. Season with salt and pepper.
• Coat ribs generously with sauce in roasting pan. Continue cooking ribs for 1 hour more, or until rib meat is soft and easily pulled from bone. Sauce will thicken and darken on ribs, so be sure to turn darker ribs over. Before serving, brush ribs with additional sauce and serve extra sauce on the side.
