Ingredient

Dr. Pepper Barbeque Sauce:

1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup (250 mL) non-salt added crushed tomatoes
1/3 cup (75 mL) cider vinegar
1/3 cup (75 mL) packed brown sugar
1 can (about 1 1/2 cups / 375 mL) Dr. Pepper soda
2 Tbsp (30 mL) Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp (10 mL) dry mustard powder
2 tsp (10 mL) chili powder
1/2 tsp (2 mL) smoked paprika

Ribs:

2 racks ( about 1 -1 1/2 lbs/ 500 - 750 g each) baby-back pork ribs
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1/4 tsp (1 mL) fresh ground black pepper
Fresh parsley, garnish

Directions:

In a saucepan, heat canola oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook 1 - 2 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
Add crushed tomatoes, vinegar, brown sugar, Dr. Pepper, Worcestershire, dry mustard, chili powder and paprika; stir to combine.
Reduce heat to low and simmer until flavours are blended and sauce begins to thicken about 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes and then puree with an immersion blender, or in a regular blender.
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove membrane from the back of the ribs. Season ribs with salt and pepper. Wrap slabs in a large piece of heavy-duty foil; seal tightly, and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook until meat is fork-tender, about 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
Heat grill to medium-high and lightly brush with oil. Remove ribs from foil and brush with sauce, coating well. Grill until nicely browned, about 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with more sauce.
Note: Pour remainder of barbeque sauce into a glass jar for storage, it will keep for about 1 week in the refrigerator.
