Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large roasting pan, arrange the ribs. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the apricot preserves, soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic powder until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the ribs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Cover the roasting pan tightly and marinate the ribs in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. (8 hours)

04

Step

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Remove the ribs from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Place them in the prepared baking pan and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Set aside for basting. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for approximately 1 1/2 hours, or until they are incredibly tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone. Baste the ribs frequently with the simmering marinade throughout the cooking process to build up a rich, flavorful glaze. (90 minutes)

08

Step

To ensure the ribs are fully cooked, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding the bone. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (5 minutes)

09

Step

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more succulent and flavorful ribs. (10 minutes)

For enhanced flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
If the glaze starts to darken too quickly during baking, loosely tent the ribs with foil to prevent burning.
Serve these ribs with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or grilled corn on the cob, for a complete and satisfying meal.
