Preparation

  1. Whisk together all the rub ingredients in a small bowl.
  2. Spread the rub evenly over the pork ribs and place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet with meat side up. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

  4. Add the remaining sauce ingredients and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Turn the heat down to medium-low and cook at an active simmer until the mixture is reduced to about 2 cups (470 ml), about 30-45 minutes.
