Ingredients
  

  • 1 rack baby back pork ribs
  • 1/2 cup dry pork rub
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 1/2 cup fruit preserves such as peach or apricot
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • Aluminum foil

Instructions
 

  • Remove the baby back pork ribs from packaging and pat dry with paper towels. Prepare a large disposable aluminum tray by coating with oil.

  • Apply the dry pork rub generously to the back of the ribs, pressing firmly to adhere. Optionally, cut the rack in half for easier handling.

  • Turn the ribs over and season the meaty side, discarding any excess rub. Pour apple juice into the tray, cover with foil, and refrigerate until the grill is ready.

  • Preheat the grill to 300°F, aiming for consistent indirect heat by adjusting the burners as needed.
  • Clean and oil the grill grates, then place the tray of ribs on the grill. Cover and cook for about 1 hour, or until the ribs reach an internal temperature of 180°F to 190°F for tenderness.
  • Remove ribs from the tray and place directly on the grill grates over low heat.
  • In a small pot, combine fruit preserves and apple cider vinegar. Heat until well mixed, then remove from heat.

  • Glaze the ribs with the preserve mixture, cover the grill, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Glaze once more and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Rest the ribs on a cutting board for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
