Honey Habañero Country Ribs Recipes

SUNNY'S ORANGE JALAPEñO PARTY RIBS

Steps:

• For the sauce: Add the marmalade, onions, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, jalapeños, garlic, orange zest, a pinch of salt and plenty of coarse ground black pepper to a medium pot on medium-high. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced and thickened. Remove from the heat and divide as follows: for the basting liquid, pour 1/4th of the sauce into a medium bowl and whisk in the orange juice. Pour the remaining sauce into a medium bowl to use as the glazing liquid.
• For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Sprinkle the ribs generously on all sides with salt and pepper and place on a rimmed baking sheet, bone-side down. Brush lightly all over with the basting liquid. Pour all the remaining basting liquid into the bottom of the baking sheet and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Cook 3 to 5 hours, basting with the liquid every hour and re-covering tightly each time. After 3 hours, begin checking the ribs for doneness by gently pulling at the middle bone to see if it will release easily from the meat. The ribs are also done with about a 1/2-inch of the bone showing on the ends, or a pull at the middle bone feels like it will release the meat.
• Once the ribs are cooked remove the aluminum foil and brush the ribs with the reserved sauce. Adjust the rack to the bottom of the oven, turn the broiler on high and cook the ribs until the glaze caramelizes, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the ribs from the oven onto a cutting board, tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Cut into 1- or 2-bone slices and serve with orange wedges.

HONEY GARLIC RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Slice the ribs into individual pieces. In a large bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and brown sugar. Stir until honey and sugar are completely dissolved, then stir in the baking soda. The mixture will begin to foam. Transfer ribs to the bowl, and turn to coat.
• Cover a cookie sheet with foil, and arrange the ribs meat side up on the sheet. Pour excess sauce over all, and sprinkle with the garlic salt.
• Bake for 1 hour, turning every 20 minutes.

HONEY-HABAñERO COUNTRY RIBS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, onion and habañero chile. Cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes, until softened. Pour into a blender; add tomato sauce and vinegar; blend until smooth.
• Pour mixture back into skillet and stir in honey, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside til ready to use.
• Heat oven to 450°. Sprinkle flour inside a large foil cooking bag. Season ribs with salt and pepper and place in the bag. Fold open edge of bag, following package directions.
• Place bag on baking sheet and bake at 450° for 75 minutes. Carefully cut open bag and fold back, allowing steam to escape. Drain off accumulated cooking juices and discard bag. Place ribs in a large baking dish and add 3/4°C of the sauce. Stir to coat ribs with sauce. Let stand while grill is heating.
• ***I didn't actually do steps #3 & 4 the way the original recipe called for -- I lined a 9x13 pan with heavy-duty foil, placed the ribs in the pan, then covered the pan with more foil, sealing well. After baking them I drained off the juices and returned the ribs to the same pan and coated them with the sauce.
• Heat gas grill to medium-high or prepare charcoal grill with medium-hot coals. Lightly coat grill rack with oil or nonstick cooking spray. Grill the ribs for 4-5 minutes per side, generously basting with the sauce, until nicely browned. Serve with additional sauce on the side.
