Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 to 3 pounds baby back pork ribs
  • 2 large ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup bourbon whiskey (60 ml)
  • 1 cup tomato sauce (240 ml), no sugar added
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (30 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (25 g)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (2 g)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (2 g)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (2 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (1 g)
  • Salt to taste (kosher salt recommended)
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the silver skin membrane from the back of the ribs. Pat ribs dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine peeled and sliced peaches, bourbon, tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, and olive oil. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. Place ribs on a large baking sheet and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.
  4. Remove ribs from oven and uncover carefully. Brush bourbon peach BBQ sauce generously on both sides of the ribs.
  5. Switch oven to broil (high heat). Place ribs under the broiler for 5-7 minutes, watching closely to caramelize the sauce without burning.
  6. Let ribs rest for about 10 minutes after broiling. Slice between bones and serve with extra sauce on the side.

Notes

Remove the silver skin membrane for tender ribs. Slow cook at low temperature for best results. Do not skip broiling to get a sticky, caramelized glaze. Let ribs rest before slicing to retain juices. Sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in the fridge. For a smoky grilled version, cook ribs over indirect heat on a grill and finish with sauce over direct heat.
