  • 2 cups apple cider juice

Instructions

  • Remove the silverskin membrane from the back of the ribs. Click the link up above for instructions.
  • Place the ribs on a rimmed baking sheet, then season both sides of the ribs well with the dry rub mixture.
  • Place into the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the ribs from the refrigerator an hour before baking so they can come to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
  • Place the ribs on wire cooling rack(s) in the same rimmed baking sheet you marinated the meat in.
  • Pour 1 cup of apple cider into the bottom of the baking sheet.
  • Place the ribs into the oven and bake for 1½ hours.
  • Rotate the baking sheet and add another 1 cup of apple cider to the bottom of the baking sheet.
  • Continue baking for 1½ hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls apart from the bones.
  • Heat the oven to broil to caramelize the ribs.
  • Watch the meat carefully as it caramelizes so it doesn't burn! Remove and serve. Enjoy.
