BOURBON-BBQ GLAZED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for the dry rub in a small bowl and mix together well.
• Tear a large enough piece of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil to place rack of ribs on it and be able to fully cover, meat side up. Evenly coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub, pressing it in with your hands.
• Fold up the sides of the foil to create a rim, and pour the apple juice in around the ribs. Fold the foil over the ribs and crimp it to create a tight seal. Tear off one more piece of large foil and wrap the whole thing again to ensure a tight seal.
• Place the wrapped ribs in the fridge to marinate for 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 225 degrees F and cook ribs for about 4 hours. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork, but they shouldn't be falling off the bone.
• Combine all the BBQ sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and allow the sauce to thicken and reduce by about a third, stirring occasionally.
• Preheat grill to high heat. Cover the grill rack with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Place the cooked ribs meat side up on the grill and brush the top with a layer of sauce. Close grill until the sauce is mostly dried, about 5 minutes. Brush another layer of sauce on top and close grill for an additional 5 minutes. Remove ribs from grill and lightly brush with one more layer of sauce.
• Cut the ribs into individual pieces and serve with extra sauce.

Remove the ribs from the marinade and place them in a baking pan single layer (save marinade for basting). Add 1/4inch water to the pan, cover and bake for one hour. Uncover and bake for another hour, basting with the reserved marinade every 15 minutes.

PEACH SMOKED BOURBON INFUSED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• First thing is pre-heating the smoker. When using the pellet smokers I like to smoke the 1st hour @ 170 - 180 degrees. At the lower temps the pellets burn cooler and produce more smoke. This will put more smoke into the meat. That said, in this case I'm cooking on my Yoder Wichita stick burner. I will build an efficient fire with 1 1/2 chimney of lump and 2 sticks of peach wood. I like to slowly bring the pit up to 230 degrees.
• We will be using a modified version of the 3-2-1 method slightly modified. We will smoke for 2.5 hours un-foiled, 1.5 hours foiled with my bourbon sauce then we will smoke for 1-1.5 hours un-foiled and sauce the ribs at the end.
• Using a butter knife and paper towel. Remove the membrane on the back of the ribs. this is very important. Paper towel allows you to grip the membrane for removal.
• Mix 1/2 cup yellow mustard with 2 tbsp honey. Coat ribs front and back with this honey mustard mix. Shake on a light amount of garlic powder. Apply generous amounts of John Henry's Bourbon Rub. Don't over do it. Sprinkle on a liberal amount of brown sugar. Don't be shy with the brown sugar. Rub it in real good.(Bring to a simmer over medium heat then cool.)
• Smoke ribs for 2.5 hours @ 230 - 235 degrees. Mist ribs with Cherry Dr. Pepper once after 1.5 hours. After 2.5 hours, remove ribs and place on thick foil. in a cup mix 1/2 cup cherry Dr. Pepper and 2 shots of Jim Beam Red Stag Bourbon.
• Pour entire bourbon mix over ribs meat side down. Wrap foil around ribs tightly. Perform the foiling steps to each rack of ribs and place them back into smoker meat side down. Cook another 1.5 hours then remove the ribs from the tin foil and place them back in the smoker meat side up. At this point the ribs will be infused with the bourbon sauce.
• Smoke @ 230 - 235 degrees for another 1 - 1.5 hours. Keep an eye on them. Using tongues grab the ribs from one end and grabbing in towards the middle. As you lift the ribs they should bend and the neat should appear to tear but should not fall off the bone. You should be able to slight twist a bone without the bone twisting loose.
