Apricot Glazed Ribs

The only difficult part about this recipe is waiting the 2+ hours while they are cooking and filling your kitchen with an incredible aroma! The night before, the ribs are covered with a spicy rub and left in the fridge until it’s time to pop them in the oven. The apricot glaze is brushed on during the last 30 minutes of baking time for the sticky sweet finishing touch.

The rub has a teaspoon of cayenne pepper but the family didn’t find the results too spicy. And the hubby has a pretty delicate palate. I did decrease the red pepper flakes in the glaze from 4 teaspoons to 1 teaspoon so feel free to up the ante if you like more heat. These apricot glazed baby back ribs were a hit with my family and worth the sticky fingers and piles of dirty napkins. I think you’ll agree.
