- Watermelon Rind
- Dark Corn Syrup
- Water
- Ketchup
- Distilled Vinegar
- Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- Liquid Smoke
- Black Pepper
- Baby Back Ribs
Instructions
- For the pureed watermelon rind, you want to cut off the green skin and about 1 / 2 inch of the hard white part
- Keep the part that is lighter red to white
- Put the rind inside the food processor and pure for only about 10 seconds
- Strain the liquid from the pulp and use 1 cup
- Combine the 1 cup watermelon pulp with the remaining ingredients in medium saucepan over high heat
- Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for about 1 hour or until your desired thickness
- Cut the racks of ribs into plate-size portions, about 6 to 7 ribs each
- Brush each rib with the sauce and wrap each rack individually in aluminum foil
- Be sure to save some sauce for later
- Let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for a couple of hours
- Preheat the oven to 300f to cook the ribs
- Set them with the seam of the foil facing up in the oven
- Bake for 2 to 2 1 / 2 hours or until the rib meat has pulled back from the cut end of the bones by about 1 / 2 inch
- They should be very tender
- Remove the ribs form the foil and brush with additional sauce
- Grill on a hot barbecue for 2 to 4 minutes per side or until you see several spots of charred sauce
- Serve with reserved sauce on the side
