Ingredients

• 4 - 6 slabs of baby back ribs, about 10-12 ribs per slab
• Chinese 5 Spice Powder
• Kosher Salt
• Coarse black pepper
• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 cups cider vinegar
• 1 (7oz) can chipotle peppers in adobosauce, pureed in the blender.
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 8 cups sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your gas grill or charcoal to a medium high heat
Season the ribs liberally on both sides with salt, pepper, and Chinese 5 Spice powder.
Brown on the grill, 5 mins per side. Remove and allow to cool.
Preheat oven to 350.
Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and then in foil. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer, do not overlap. Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Cool while still wrapped.
In a large, 3 gallon, non-reactive pot add orange juice and reduce to 1/4 cup.
Add remaining ingredients and cook over a medium-high heat until the sugar has melted and the sauce has reduced to 4 cups. It will coat the back of a spoon and takes about 20-30 minutes. Be sure to do this in a large pot as the mix will bubble up and run over rapidly. Watch it very carefully.
