  • Combine all spices in a small bowl.
  • Remove the membrane from the ribs and apply seasoning to both sides
  • Place the ribs in the Rib and Roast Rack, bone side down, and cook for one hour. Flip the ribs and rotate the rack 180°. Cook for another hour.
  • Baste the ribs with the preserves (we used salted caramel peach preserves) then wrap tightly in foil – you do not want any gaps in the wrap or you will steam the ribs.

  • Cook for an additional 30 minutes, then unwrap the ribs and place directly on the grid for a final 15 minutes to allow the glaze to tighten up.

Notes

THE PERFECT BBQ RIBS:
Mild alterations on my part, I use more brown sugar, actually two small handfuls, I rub the ribs with a mustard base and I cook the ribs on the Big Green Egg in apple juice wrapped with foil for a little extra love.   
 
For a little extra kick we also used the Big Green Egg BBQ Sauce, Vidalia Onion Sriracha over the peach glaze which gave it a sweet, kick!
