Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 c blackberry jam, seedless
1/2 c ketchup
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1 tsp fresh minced ginger, or ground ginger
2 tsp hot sauce, or to taste
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1 pkg (4 to 5 pound) rack pork spareribs
red pepper flakes ( optional )

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. If grilling, disregard this. Preheat grill. Medium heat. I baked mine and finished on the grill.
2. In a food processor or blender, place blackberry jam, ketchup, brown sugar, ginger, hot sauce, and pepper; pulse until pureed. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the prepared blackberry mixture and bring to a boil; boil 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Rinse ribs and pat dry. Trim and discard any excess fat.
4. In a large baking pan I baked for 40 minutes until well browned, turning ribs over at 20 minutes. Baste one side of ribs with 1/3 of prepared blackberry sauce; turn ribs sauce side down and cook 10 minutes or until sauce browns and forms a thick, sticky glaze. Baste top of ribs with 1/3 of blackberry sauce, turn over, and cook and additional 10 minutes or until sauce browns and forms a thick, sticky glaze. When finished, I grilled 5 minutes per side basting one more time each side. I doubled the sauce also. As I made more than one slab of ribs. I store remaining sauce in a jar in the refrigerator. Sometimes I do the whole cooking process on the grill. Depends how hot the weather is. Either way they are delicious! I have also used this sauce for pork in the crock pot. Also, it is good on chicken...

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 lbs pork ribs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups catsup
8 ounces blackberries
1/2 cup molasses
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons onions, minced
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon black pepper
1/2 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
1/2 tablespoon liquid smoke

Steps:

Cut the ribs into individual ribs.
Melt the butter in the olive oil, in a frying pan, over medium high. Once the oil is hot, add the pork ribs and sear. You don't want them cooked, but you want the sides brown to hold in the juices and give texture to the meat. You will probably need to do this in batches, so add the butter and oil a bit at a time until all the ribs are cooked.
Mix all the other ingredients in the blender and puree until smooth.
Place ribs into crock pot as they sear. Pour sauce over ribs.
Cook on high for five hours, turn to low and cook another 3-4 hours.
Enjoy! This is really nice with steamed veggies, with a touch of lemon juice.
