Ingredients

Ribs + Rub

  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ⅛ -¼ tsp cayenne pepper *to taste
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 4 lbs baby back pork ribs 2 racks - any kind of pork ribs will work in a pinch.

BBQ Sauce

  • 5 cloves garlic
  • ¾ cup Sugar Free ketchup
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 oz whiskey * optional- but fantastic
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup Allulose
  • 1 tbsp orange zest fine zest
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Chile powder
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp. liquid smoke optional

Instructions

Ribs

  • In a small bowl, combine the spices for the rub.
  • Season ribs all over with the spice mixture and place in an oiled crock-pot on high. One rack on each side or wrap the racks along the edges is necessary.
    Or alternatively, wrap in foil and place in the oven @ 275F. I used the crockpot because it doesnt heat up the house as much and I can even put it on the deck if I want.
  • Cook the ribs until the meat is tender, a knife should easily pierce the meat, 2½ -3 hours depending on your crock-pot. Remove and let cool slightly.

Sauce - make this while your ribs are cooking.

  • Put all of the sauce ingredients into a blender and puree until it's a smooth-ish consistency.
  • Scrape it all into a small sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, until thickened and darkened slightly. This will take about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Finish the ribs like a pro-

  • Preheat your grill to medium/high. Oil the grates with a brush. Carefully, remove the baked ribs from the crock pot or foil. Brush both sides with the BBQ sauce. Grill until sauce is bubbling and ribs are lightly charred, about 4-6 minutes per side, brushing with more sauce if desired. Serve hot with sauce for dipping.
