These ribs are unique because of the spicy rub and the combination of sweet brown sugar and spicy jalapeno peppers in the sauce. I always make them for my husband's birthday. —Shirley Manthey, Omaha, Nebraska

Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3-1/2 to 4 pounds pork spareribs
  • JALAPENO BARBECUE SAUCE:
  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) tomato sauce
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients; rub onto both sides of ribs. Place ribs, meat side up, on a rack in a foil-lined roasting pan. Bake at 325° for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine sauce ingredients; simmer, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes or until thickened.
  • Grill ribs, uncovered, over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until browned, basting with sauce and turning several times. Reheat remaining sauce and serve with ribs. Yield: 4 servings.

    Editor's Note: Ribs may be baked and sauce may be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated. Then grill and baste for 15 minutes or until heated through and nicely glazed. We recommend wearing disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers. Avoid touching your face.

Used one seeded and one unseeded jalapeño which was the right amount of heat for us. We prefer a sweeter BBQ sauce, so the next time I try this, I may double the brown sugar. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

These ribs are great! We like our BBQ sauce sweet so the brown sugar is doubled in the rub and sauce. Also, double the sauce so there is enough.

We absolutely loved these ribs. The sauce was perfect and I plan to use what's left on chicken thighs.

Incredible. It sounds like it would be spicy but it actually isn't spicy at all! If you want it spicy add more jalapenos or Tabasco or cayenne pepper. This rub and bbq sauce would be excellent on chicken as well. This is one of the best tasting bbq sauces I have tried in a LONG time! Next time I would add lots of minced garlic to the bbq sauce, as well as maybe a little cayenne and maybe some cumin, or any other spice in my cabinet that looks good. Maybe some seasoned salt too. I also added some liquid smoke, dash of soy and maggi. This is one of the best recipes I have ever tried!

Turned out fabulous!! My new favourite Ribs!! ....however, this recipe was extremely mild with it's "heat" content...next time, I will at least 'double' the jalapenos if not more. I cooked the ribs at only 300 degrees though, as previously instructed to me by a chef (for 1-1/2 hrs.). Another tip that same chef gave me, was to have them wrapped in plastic wrap, while in the over.

Absolutely wonderful! That sauce was excellent and we will definitely make this one over and over!!! OK, we made two slabs of ribs and we had to double the rub for just one slab....so we had to double it again for the second slab. The sauce was excellent, and I'm a BBQ sauce connoisseur. I will use this sauce on lots of different meats. Thank you for this one. We ate every rib.

My husband used this recipe for the 4th of July. It was EXCELLENT! All of our guests loved it. He cooked the ribs on the BBQ rotissere rather than the oven. They were so beautiful we had to take a photo of them on the BBQ. We are making the rub in a larger quantity to have on hand. Plan to use the rub on Prime Rib roast. We will add a little more jalapenos for a little kick to the sauce. I would rate the spiceness as a 1 or 2 (1-5 with 5 being hot) on the heat scale.
