These smoky, sticky bourbon-glazed baby back ribs offer a sophisticated twist on a classic barbecue favourite. The secret to their incredible tenderness lies in the dual-stage cooking process; first, the ribs are gently steamed in pineapple juice within foil parcels to ensure the meat stays succulent and pulls easily from the bone. The final finish on the grill creates a beautifully caramelised charred crust that balances the sweetness of honey and plum sauce with the deep, oaky notes of bourbon and a subtle kick of chilli.
This dairy-free dish is an excellent choice for weekend entertaining or summer garden parties. While they taste impressive, the preparation is simple, as both the glaze and the initial roasting can be completed a day in advance. Serve these ribs alongside a fresh apple slaw or charred corn on the cob for a complete homemade feast that highlights high-quality British pork at its very best.
