Ingredients

• 3 pounds Pork ribs
• 2 tablespoons Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar
• 1 cup Unsweetened apple juice
• 6 ounces Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon Ground mustard
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to a medium heat, approximately 275°F.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and coconut sugar to create the dry rub.

Step 3

Pat the pork ribs dry with paper towels and then generously coat them with the dry rub. Be sure to cover all sides for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Wrap the seasoned ribs in aluminum foil and place them on the preheated grill. Close the lid and allow them to cook for approximately 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and beginning to pull away from the bone.

Step 5

While the ribs are cooking, prepare the BBQ sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the apple juice, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, ground mustard, and ground cumin. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until it thickens. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

Remove the foil from the ribs and brush generously with the prepared BBQ sauce.

Step 8

Increase the grill temperature to medium-high, about 325°F. Place the ribs directly on the grill and continue to cook for another 15-20 minutes, basting occasionally with more BBQ sauce.

Step 9

Once the ribs are caramelized and a little charred, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual portions.

Step 10

Serve the ribs hot with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
