Method

For the Maple BBQ St. Louis Ribs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your grill or smoker to 225°F (107°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs if it's still attached.

  2. 2

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, combine maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.

  3. 3

    Cook the Ribs

    Place the ribs on the grill or in the smoker, bone side down. Brush with the BBQ sauce. Cook for about 3-4 hours, basting with more sauce every hour, until tender.

  4. 4

    Finish the Ribs

    Once the ribs are tender, increase the heat to 350°F (175°C) and cook for an additional 15-30 minutes, basting with sauce until caramelized.

For the Fuji Apple & Jicama Slaw

  1. 5

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced Fuji apples, julienned jicama, shredded red cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 6

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and honey.

  3. 7

    Combine

    Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss to combine. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
