SWEET JALAPENO BOURBON RIBS - DEE DEE'S
These sweet, spicy hot ribs flavored with a Red Jalapeno Pepper Jelly paired with pinto's was the perfect combination for a crockpot BBQ. I served this dish with my Mom's Old Fashioned Mustard Potato Salad and Sweet Cheddar Biscuits that some claim are the Jim n Nicks recipe. This combination was well paired and a big hit!

I live in a small town and couldn't find it so I made my own. This is a very easy recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/red-jalapeno-pepper-jelly-dee-dees/quick-easy-other-appetizer-2 Country-style ribs are extra meaty. If they come as a slab, you'll need to cut them apart to fit them in the slow cooker. Broiling the ribs first browns them and adds rich flavor, and removes excess fat. Because of the sweet heat in these ribs I felt a sweet cheese biscuit was perfect for this dish: https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/sweet-cheese-biscuits-dee-dees/biscuits The perfect side dish https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/mamas-old-fashioned-potato-salad-dee/quick-easy-potatoes
Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm jalapeños with vibrant green color and no blemishes. Smaller peppers tend to be spicier, while larger ones are milder.
- To reduce the spiciness, remove the ribs and seeds from the peppers before cooking. You can also soak the peppers in milk for 30 minutes before cooking to help mellow the flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the peppers into thin strips. This will help them cook evenly and absorb the marinade better.
- Make sure the marinade is well-balanced and flavorful. A good marinade should contain a combination of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy ingredients.
- Let the ribs marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat and make the ribs more tender.
- Cook the ribs over indirect heat on a grill or in the oven. This will help prevent them from burning and ensure that they cook evenly.
- Baste the ribs with the marinade or a barbecue sauce during cooking to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Cook the ribs until they are tender and fall off the bone. This usually takes about 2-3 hours.
