GUAVA GLAZED RIBS
Guava glazed ribs sound like they belong on a restaurant menu but could be a weeknight reality with this recipe. The Pink Guava Rosé Balsamic brings something tropical and bright to the BBQ sauce glaze. And while store bought bottled sauce is convenient, most are loaded with high-fructose corn syrup, artificial smoke, and preservatives you don't need.
INGREDIENTS:
DIRECTIONS:
Remove the membrane from the bone side of each rack. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Reduce to a gentle simmer. Submerge ribs, cutting racks in half if needed to fit. Simmer gently 45 to 60 minutes, until the meat is tender. Remove and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.
While the ribs are simmering, prepare the glaze (see below). Near the end of simmering, preheat oven to 400°. Remove ribs from the pot and pat completely dry. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush generously with about half the BBQ sauce on both sides, reserving the remaining sauce for serving. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once. Apply a second coat of glaze in the last few minutes until caramelized and charred slightly at the edges. Rest 5 minutes before slicing between the bones. Serve with remaining glaze on the side.
