Country Ribs With Cherry Cola Glaze Recipes

CHERRY COLA GLAZED SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine All-Purpose Rub with 2 tablespoons teriyaki mix. Sprinkle seasoning over ribs and pat in.
• Place ribs in a shallow roasting pan. Tightly cover with foil. Bake in oven for 1 hour.
• While ribs are cooking, make glaze by combining glaze ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer 10 minutes and remove from heat.
• Remove ribs from oven and carefully drain fat from roasting pan. Generously brush with glaze and continue baking ribs, uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes more or until tender, turning and brushing occasionally with glaze. Remove from grill and cut into servings. Serve hot with glaze on the side.
• For Outdoor Grill:
• Set up grill for indirect cooking over medium heat. (No heat source under meat). Prepare ribs as directed. Place ribs in rib rack over drip pan on hot grill. Add a handful of hickory chips to hot coals or smoke box. Cover grill. Rotate ribs around rack every 30 minutes. After 1 hour, add 10 briquettes to each pile of coals and another handful of soaked hickory chips. Cook 2 to 2 1/2 hours. About 20 minutes before ribs are done, remove ribs from rib rack and lay meat side down on grill. Generously brush with glaze and pile ribs in center of grill over drip pan. Cover and cook 10 minutes. Turn ribs and brush on more glaze and re-pile. Cook an additional 10 minutes.

• Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, mix barbecue sauce, cola, preserves, mustard and buffalo wing sauce. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors are blended and sauce is slightly thickened.
• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Cover and grill ribs over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes, turning and brushing occasionally with barbecue sauce mixture to glaze.
• Heat remaining barbecue sauce mixture to boiling; boil and stir 1 minute. Serve sauce with ribs.

GRILLED SPARERIBS WITH CHERRY COLA GLAZE

Steps:

• Boil flat cherry soda in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, takes about 45 minutes. Stir in next 5 ingredients. Reduce heat to medium and then simmer and stir occasionally until mixture is reduced to 2 1/2 cups, about 35 minutes. Transfer this glaze to a large bowl for coating ribs, or if making ahead, transfer to a seal-able container.
• Position oven racks in top and bottom thirds of oven, preheat to 325 degrees F. Sprinkle and rub ribs with salt and pepper. Wrap each rib rack tightly in foil, into a sealed packet. Divide foil packets between 2 rimmed baking sheets. Bake one set on top and the other on the bottom rack of oven until ribs are very tender, switching positions of baking sheets after one hour, half way through. Bake for another hour. Cool ribs slightly until you can handle the foil, pour off any fat.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-low heat). Cut each rib between bones into individual ribs. Set aside 1 cup glaze. Add ribs to bowl with remaining glaze and toss to coat. Grill ribs until brown and glazed, turning to prevent burning, about 5 minutes total. Serve, passing reserved glaze separately.

CHERRY COLA GLAZED RIBS

Steps:

• For the brine: Combine water, beer, brown sugar, salt, and lemon juice in large mixing bowl. Stir until salt and sugar dissolve. Pour mixture into plastic bag. Add ribs and seal bag, removing as much air as possible. Refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.
• For the rub: Combine brown sugar, savory, garlic, paprika and cloves in a small mixing bowl and blend. Remove ribs from refrigerator and from brine. Pat dry with a paper towel. Brush the ribs with mustard to coat evenly. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over ribs and let stand at room temperature.
• For the glaze: Pour cherry cola in cooking pot over medium-high heat. Cook until cola is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 45 minutes. Add jam, mustard, soy sauce, vinegar, and hot pepper sauce into the cooking pot and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the mixture is reduced to 2 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes. Pour mixture into a bowl and take to grill for glazing.
• Preheat barbecue grill. If using charcoal grill, light briquettes in chimney. If using 3 burner gas grill, light 2 burners on opposite ends and leave middle burner off. If using 2 burner gas grill, light only 1 burner. Take a disposable pan and place it over the unlit burner. If using the charcoal grill place half on each side of the pan. The pan will be used to collect excess.
• Place ribs on rack over aluminum pan, meat side up. Cover grill and cook until ribs are tender and meat pulls away from bone by 1/4-inch, turning and rotating ribs every 1/2 hour. Before rotating brush the glaze generously on each side. Allow to cook for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from grill and serve.
