Ingredients

• 2 racks baby back ribs
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 cup peach jam
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 pieces fresh peaches (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane from the back of each rack. Use a knife to lift the membrane at one end and pull it off using a paper towel for better grip.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs.

Step 5

Wrap each rack tightly in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat is pulling away from the bone.

Step 6

While the ribs bake, prepare the peach glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine peach jam, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and honey. Heat over medium heat and stir until smooth. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 7

Once the ribs are done baking, remove them from the oven and unwrap the foil. Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C), or prepare a grill to medium-high heat.

Step 8

Brush the peach glaze generously over the ribs. Place the ribs back in the oven or on the grill and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, basting with glaze every 5 minutes, until caramelized.

Step 9

Remove the ribs from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Garnish with thin slices of fresh peaches, if desired, and serve warm.
