SWEET AND SMOKY OVEN LOINRIBSÂ
Recipe by: SaveMore Food Stores
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ancho chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 1/2 pounds spareribs (cut into 2 slabs, rinsed and patted dry)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Place a cooling rack inside a baking sheet; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, cloves and cinnamon.
- Place each slab of ribs on a piece of foil large enough to fold into a packet. Sprinkle the spice rub over the ribs, rubbing in thoroughly on all sides. With the ribs meat-side down, tightly fold the foil to form sealed packets.
- Place the sealed packets on top of prepared rack.
- Place into oven and bake for 4 hours. Reduce oven temperature to 175 degrees F and bake until a fork easily penetrates the meat, about 2 more hours.
- Open each packet and pour the accumulated juices into a saucepan. Bring juices to a simmer and reduce by about half, until they cling to a spoon. Turn off the heat and add the paprika and vinegar.
- Remove the ribs from the foil, coat with the sauce and serve. For extra caramelization, the ribs can be finished for a few minutes under the broiler, before being coated with sauce.
