Ingredients
  • 4 pound pork baby back ribs, cut into serving-size pieces
  • 1/2 cup finely minced onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup light molasses
  • 3 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Directions
  1. Prepare grill for indirect medium-low heat. Grill ribs, covered, over indirect medium-low heat for 1 hour, turning occasionally. In a saucepan coated with cooking spray, sauté onion and garlic over medium heat until tender. In a bowl, combine the cornstarch, syrup, water, soy sauce, molasses, vinegar, ginger, and red pepper flakes until blended. Stir into onion mixture. Bring to a boil; cook for 2-3 minutes or until thickened. Add peanut butter; cook for 2 minutes or until peanut butter is melted, stirring constantly. Set aside. Add 10 briquettes to coals. Grill 20-30 minutes longer or until meat is tender, basting ribs with sauce several times. Tip: You can make the sauce the day before you need it; store in the refrigerator.
