Sweet Heat Pork Ribs
There are 3 things that I think make life a little more interesting, a little more bearable, a little more exciting. Without these I dunno how my life would be
- Chocolate……………. Do I have to even explain this? Eating, drinking it, cooking with it just makes me HAPPY
- SHOPPING…. For anything. I can shop and shop and shop.
- Do I even have to say this??? PORK… and all its products. I love love love love to infinity love them
There is only one person who I think might love pork more than me, my brother, Kiboi. Well he loves anything edible so I’m not sure if it’s the fact that its pork or just food.
Anyway I digress. I saw this recipe on A Bachelor and His Grill’s blog I knew I just had to try it. The original recipe is for a rub but I did not have some of the ingredients in ground or powdered form and i did not have some altogether so I adapted it to fit my desert kitchen. It was AMAZING!!! The sweet, the hot…. was magic in my mouth.
I made mine in an oven but I think you could use a barbeque as well. This would probably caramelize the sugar even better and it will have all those charred bits. Il try that in December when I am home. If you do try it on a bbq tell me how it goes. But bbq or oven this recipe is to die for.

Total Time: 4 hours, 40 minutes
Yield: 6-8
Ingredients
- 2 kg pork ribs, excess fat trimmed
- 5 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons cayenne pepper
- 2 Tablespoons paprika ( if you can get smoked even better)
- 2 teaspoons salt

Instructions
Blend all ingredients together to form a thick paste
Apply the paste on all sides of the ribs.
Put the ribs in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours ( I marinated mine for about 20 hours)
Remove from the fridge at least 30 minutes before you cook, let it stay in the container and bring it back to room temperature
Heat your oven to 220 degrees and cook for about 30-40 minutes. Or heat up your barbeque and cook this babies up!
