Ingredients

• 2 racks pork baby back ribs
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 cups raspberries
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

Step 2

Prepare the ribs by removing the silver membrane from the back of the ribs (if not already removed).

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.

Step 5

Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and cooked through.

Step 7

While the ribs are cooking, prepare the raspberry glaze. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and water.

Step 8

Simmer the mixture for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Use a fine-mesh strainer to remove the seeds from the sauce (optional, if you prefer a smoother glaze). Set the glaze aside.

Step 10

Once the ribs are done baking, carefully remove them from the foil and place them on a clean baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 11

Brush the ribs generously with the raspberry glaze.

Step 12

Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) or switch to the broil setting.

Step 13

Return the ribs to the oven and cook for another 8-10 minutes, until the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Step 14

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.

Step 15

Slice between the bones and serve the ribs with any remaining raspberry glaze on the side.
