Ingredients

• 2 racks Baby back ribs
• 1 cup Dark rum
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Tomato ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Place the baby back ribs on a large baking sheet lined with foil. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine paprika, black pepper, and salt. Rub this spice mixture all over the ribs.

Step 4

Tightly cover the ribs with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours.

Step 5

While the ribs are baking, prepare the rum glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine dark rum, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and honey.

Step 6

Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

After 2.5 hours, remove the ribs from the oven and carefully uncover them. Brush the ribs generously with the rum glaze.

Step 8

Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20 minutes, basting with more glaze halfway through, until the ribs are caramelized and sticky.

Step 9

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm with any remaining glaze on the side for dipping, and enjoy!
