Hot Cherry Coke Ribs Recipe

How to make it

---

• Boil cherry cola in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 45 minutes.
• Stir in next 5 ingredients.
• Reduce heat to medium and simmer until mixture is reduced to 2 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes.
• Transfer glaze to large bowl. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature before using.)
• Position racks in top and bottom thirds of oven and preheat to 300°F. Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper.
• Wrap each rib rack tightly in foil, enclosing completely.
• Divide foil packets between 2 rimmed baking sheets.
• Bake until ribs are very tender, switching positions of baking sheets halfway through baking, about 2 hours total.
• Cool ribs slightly in foil.
• Pour off any fat from foil packets. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep covered in foil packets and refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before continuing.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-low heat).
• Cut each rib rack between bones into individual ribs.
• Set aside 1 cup glaze.
• Add ribs to bowl with remaining glaze and toss to coat.
• Grill ribs until brown and glazed, turning to prevent burning, about 5 minutes total.
• Serve, passing reserved glaze separately.
