Ingredients

Rib Rub

  • 2 slabs baby back pork ribs about 2 lbs
  • 1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Blackberry sauce for pork

  • 2 ½ cups fresh blackberries
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup fresh ginger minced
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Score the membrane of the ribs with a knife. In small bowl, mix chili powder, garlic, salt and pepper. Rub into both sides of ribs. Wrap ribs tightly with foil and place on rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 3 hours.
  • Meanwhile, puree remaining ingredients in blender until almost smooth. Strain puree into medium saucepan. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring frequently until reduced to about 1 cup. (About 5 minutes) Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Open foil wrap on ribs. Brush sauce generously over the ribs. Continue baking uncovered for about 15 minutes until sauce browns and forms a thick glaze.. Cut the ribs apart and serve with the remaining blackberry sauce.
