Dr Pepper Ribs

These beautifully sweet and saucy ribs are marinated in Dr Pepper overnight, tenderizing the pork and adding a subtle soda flavor that pairs well with the spices in the homemade rub. They're baked low and slow, then finished with a Dr Pepper and barbecue sauce glaze.

Ingredients

  • 6 pounds pork baby back ribs, cut into 8 pieces
  • 2 liters dr pepper, divided
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce

Directions

  1. Arrange ribs in a large shallow dish. Add Dr Pepper, reserving 1/4 cup; turn to coat. Refrigerate remaining Dr Pepper. Cover and refrigerate ribs 8 hours or overnight. Drain ribs, discarding marinade.
  2. Preheat oven to 325°. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder and salt; rub over ribs. Place ribs in a shallow roasting pan, bone side down. Bake, covered tightly with foil, until tender, 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
  3. Combine barbecue sauce and remaining 1/4 cup Dr Pepper. Brush half the sauce over ribs. Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes or until ribs are glazed, brushing occasionally with remaining sauce.
