Ingredients
Scale
- 2 racks baby back ribs
- 4 fresh peaches, pitted and quartered
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275°F. Remove membrane from back of ribs.
- Mix dry rub: combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt and pepper.
- Rub ribs with olive oil, then apply dry rub mixture generously on both sides.
- Wrap ribs tightly in foil and place on baking sheet. Bake for 2.5 hours.
- While ribs are cooking, make peach BBQ sauce: Blend peaches in food processor until smooth.
- In a saucepan, combine peach puree, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 20 minutes until thickened.
- After 2.5 hours, unwrap ribs, discard foil and drippings. Increase oven to 425°F.
- Brush ribs generously with peach BBQ sauce and return to oven, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
- Apply another layer of sauce and cook for 15 more minutes until sauce is caramelized.
- Let ribs rest for 10 minutes before cutting and serving with additional sauce on the side.
Notes
- For extra smoky flavor, add a few drops of liquid smoke to the BBQ sauce.
- You can substitute canned peaches if fresh aren’t available.
- These ribs can also be finished on the grill instead of in the oven for more char.
- The peach BBQ sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
