McKenna’s dad brought store-bought ribs to a homemade lunch competition. So I made these Cherry Coke Party Ribs. Full directions are in my profile! Ingredients 2 racks St. Louis-style ribs Mayonnaise (binder) BBQ rub (I used TFTI Cajun Rub) Cherry Coke BBQ Sauce 1 cup Cherry Coke ⅓ cup ketchup 2 tbsp Morello cherry preserves 1½ tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp honey 1 tsp chipotle powder ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp onion powder ¼ tsp ground cinnamon For Braising ½ stick butter, cubed Directions 1. Remove the membrane from the ribs. Lightly coat with mayonnaise and generously season all sides with BBQ rub. 2. Make the sauce by simmering Cherry Coke in a saucepan until reduced by half. Whisk in the remaining sauce ingredients and simmer another 8–10 minutes until thick and glossy. 3. Preheat smoker to 250°F. Smoke ribs bone-side down for 2½–3 hours until deep mahogany in color and approximately 165–170°F internally. 4. Remove ribs and slice between each bone into individual party ribs. 5. Transfer to a foil pan with ½ stick cubed butter and approximately 1 cup Cherry Coke BBQ sauce. Toss to coat. 6. Cover tightly with foil and return to smoker at 275°F for 45–60 minutes until probe tender, approximately 198–203°F. 7. Remove foil, toss ribs in the reduced sauce, and smoke uncovered another 10–15 minutes until sticky and caramelized. 8. Garnish with fresh jalapeños and serve! #cooking #barbecue #homemade #ribs #Recipe
