Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 2 hours 10 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 20 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2-2/12 lbs baby back pork ribs
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • rosemary

Cherry BBQ Sauce

  • 1/2 c pitted frozen cherries
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 4 carrots, chopped
  • 1/4 c (bone) broth
  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 320 F.
  • If the ribs still have the thin membrane covering the back of the rack, remove it.  
  • Season both sides of the ribs with a generous amount of salt, pepper and rosemary. Place the ribs, meat-side up, into a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. (It may be necessary to cut the ribs in half for them to fit into the pan). 
  • Cover the pan or baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil, and bake for 2 hours.  
  • Heat oven to 400 F. Take off the aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes. Add more time if necessary. You will know ribs are done when the meat is cooked through and tender. This depends on the size of the ribs. Serve with cherry BBQ sauce. 

Cherry BBQ Sauce

  • In a saucepan, add the carrots to 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for about 6 min, or until carrots are fork tender. Drain carrots
  • In the saucepan over medium-high heat, add cherries, onion, and broth. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and cook on medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer the mixture to a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until combined, and store in the refrigerator while making ribs. Serve them with ribs when the ribs are cooked.
