    List of Ingredients

    FOR THE MOP
    2 cup apple cider
    1/4 cup minced shallots
    1 tbl minced seeded jalapeno
    1/4 cup ketchup
    2 tbl white wine vinegar
    2 tbl tomato paste
    1 tbl dark brown sugar
    1/4 tsp kosher salt
    1/4 tsp freshly-ground black pepper

    FOR THE RIBS
    2 slabs baby back pork ribs - (to 3) abt 4 lbs total
      Kosher salt to taste
      Freshly-ground black pepper to taste

    Recipe

    * To make the Mop: In a small saucepan combine the apple cider, shallots, and jalapeno. Bring to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until about 1 cup of the liquid remains, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the remaining mop ingredients, bring to a boil, and remove from the heat. (The mop may be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to use.)

    * Allow the ribs to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. Season with salt and pepper. Grill, rib-side down, over Indirect Medium heat until the meat is very tender and has pulled back from the ends of the bones, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Baste the ribs frequently with the mop throughout grilling time, but stop basting during the last 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into individual ribs. Serve warm.

    * This recipe yields 4 servings.

    * Wine Recommendation: A Gewurztraminer from Alsace will have the complexity and flavor intensity to complement the mop and more than enough body for the sweet grilled rib meat.

    * Beer Recommendation: A fruit-infused Belgian-style beer made with raspberries, cranberries, or peaches will make a salad with the marinade while its acidic finish cuts through the sweetness.

    * Comments: If you like your ribs a little crispy on the outside, grill them, meat-side down, over Direct Medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes before finishing them over Indirect Medium heat. Don"t expect leftovers.
