Ingredients
  • 5 pounds beef back ribs
  • 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 (6-ounce) package fresh raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon chipotles in adobo sauce, or to taste
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon olive oil
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 275 F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  3. In a small bowl, combine ancho chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place ribs on foil.
  5. Rub with seasoning mix, coating ribs completely.
  6. Add a second piece of foil and firmly wrap the ribs, sealing them completely in foil.
  7. Flip the foil packet so that ribs are bone-side up.
  8. Bake for 4 hours, until completely tender.
  9. In the meantime, make the barbecue sauce. Add all barbecue sauce ingredients to a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  10. Bring to a simmer and cook until thick, about 10-12 minutes, crushing the raspberries with a spatula. Stir constantly to avoid burning.
  11. Let cool slightly, then strain, if desired.
  12. To finish the ribs, slice and brush with barbecue sauce.
