    Coca-Cola-Glazed Baby Back Ribs

    Source of Recipe

    From "Bon Appétit, Y'all" by Virginia Willis

    Recipe Introduction

    "Coca-Cola is to Atlanta as Guinness is to Dublin. Friends and family liked my Coca-Cola-Glazed Wings so much that I decided to try a similar combination on pork. Pork has a natural affinity for sweet, rich caramel flavors. These 'nouveau' Southern ribs are by no means traditional, but they are lip-smacking good. Scotch bonnet peppers are intensely hot, but their fire is tempered by the sweetness of the sugar and Coke. To tone down the heat, substitute jalapeños instead."

    List of Ingredients

    â—¦ 1 cup Coca-Cola Classic
    â—¦ ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
    â—¦ 1 ½ cups firmly packed light brown sugar
    â—¦ 2 Scotch bonnet chiles, chopped
    â—¦ 2 racks baby back ribs (3 pounds total)
    â—¦ Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Recipe

    To make the glaze, in a small saucepan, bring the Coca-Cola, vinegar, brown sugar, and chiles to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until syrupy, about 10 minutes. Decrease the heat to low and keep the sauce warm while the ribs cook.

    Preheat the oven to 325° F. Liberally season both sides of the ribs with salt and pepper. Place the ribs on a broiler pan and bake for 30 minutes, glazing the ribs occasionally, or until the ribs are tender and the meat is starting to pull away from the bone.

    When the ribs are cooked through, set the oven to broil. Liberally spoon half of the remaining glaze over the ribs and broil until glazed a deep mahogany brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn over; repeat with the remaining glaze, an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Serve immediately with lots of napkins.

    Makes about 20 pieces
