Brown Sugar And Bourbon Ribs

• Basting sauce
• 1/2 cup packed golden brown sugar
• 1/2 cup apple butter
• 1/4 cup Bourbon
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons apple cider
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• Ribs
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon packed golden brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• racks of baby-back pork ribs or beef rib
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
• 6 slices thin rounds peeled fresh ginger
• 1 1/4 cups apple cider

1. For basting sauce:
2. Whisk all ingredients in medium bowl to blend.
3. For ribs:
4. Mix first 7 ingredients in small bowl. Using small sharp knife, loosen membrane from underside of each rib rack and pull off (or score membrane).
5. Rub 1 tablespoon seasoning mix into each side of each rib rack.
6. Place ribs in large roasting pan. Cover and chill at least 6 hours and up to 1 day.
7. Preheat oven to 325u0b0F Lift ribs from pan. Scatter onion, cinnamon stick, and ginger in pan.
8. Pour in cider. Return ribs, meat side down, to pan; cover pan with foil.
9. Roast ribs until meat is tender and begins to pull away from bones, about 2 hours. Uncover; cool at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
10. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill ribs until heated through and slightly charred, about 5 minutes per side. Brush generously on all sides with basting sauce. Grill until sauce becomes sticky glaze, about 3 minutes longer per side. Transfer rib racks to cutting board. Cut racks between bones into individual ribs. Arrange on platter and serve, passing remaining sauce separately.
