Ingredients: 1 rack baby back ribs (about 2.5 lbs); 1 tbsp salt, for boiling; 1 cup ketchup; 1/2 cup bourbon; 1/4 cup brown sugar; 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce; 1 tbsp yellow mustard; 1 tsp smoked paprika; 1/2 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp black pepper; 1 tsp vanilla extract

1

Cut the rack of baby back ribs into individual pieces.

2

Place the ribs in a large pot, cover with water, and add salt.

Bring to a boil and cook for about 1 hour, or until the ribs are tender.

While the ribs are boiling, prepare the barbecue sauce. In a saucepan, combine ketchup, bourbon, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

7

Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the pot and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

8

Brush the boiled ribs generously with the homemade barbecue sauce.

9

Place the sauced ribs on a preheated grill.

10

Grill the ribs, brushing with more sauce as they cook, until they are nicely caramelized and charred on all sides.

11

Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
