Dry Spiced Button Ribs Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Dry Rub

   In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt.

2. 2

   Season the Ribs

   Rub the dry spice mixture all over the pork button ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the ribs marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

3. 3

   Make the Blueberry Bourbon Sauce

   In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, bourbon, soy sauce, and honey. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have burst and the sauce thickens, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

4. 4

   Cook the Ribs

   Preheat your grill or oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the seasoned ribs on the grill or in a baking dish. Cook for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat pulls away from the bone.

5. 5

   Glaze the Ribs

   During the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the blueberry bourbon sauce over the ribs, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove the ribs from the grill or oven, let rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve with extra blueberry bourbon sauce on the side.
