Reggae Baby Back Ribs
Ingredients
  • 1/4
    cup packed brown sugar
  • 2
    tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2
    teaspoons salt
  • 2
    teaspoons finely shredded lime peel
  • 1
    teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2
    teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4
    pounds pork loin back ribs, cut into 6- to 8-rib portions
  • 1/2
    cup chicken broth
  • 1/4
    cup dark rum
  • 3
    tablespoons lime juice
  • 1
    tablespoon cooking oil or olive oil
  • 1
    fresh habanero chile pepper, finely chopped*
  • Mango-Guava BBQ Sauce
Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, ginger, salt, lime peel, cumin, and cinnamon. Sprinkle mixture evenly over ribs; rub in with your fingers. Place ribs in a resealable plastic bag; seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours.

2. For Mop Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine broth, rum, lime juice, oil, and habanero pepper. Cover and chill for 8 to 24 hours.

3. For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan in a grill with a cover. Test for medium heat above pan. Place ribs, bone sides down, on the grill rack over pan. (Or place ribs in a rib rack; place on grill rack). Cover and grill for 1-1/2 to 1 3/4 hours or until ribs are tender, brushing with mop sauce every 15 to 20 minutes. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect cooking. Cover and grill as above, except place ribs in a roasting pan.)

4. While ribs are cooking, prepare Mango-Guava BBQ Sauce. About 15 minutes before ribs are done, brush some of the mango sauce over ribs. Pass the remaining sauce. Makes 4 large servings.

Anonymous should know better; the alcohol gets vaporized when you heat it. Only the flavor is left behind. If you don't like it, omit it.
