Ingredients:

  • 4 TBSP butter
  • 2 onions
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 3 c. ketchup
  • 1 (29 oz.) can tomato sauce
  • 2 1/2 c. red wine vinegar
  • 1 c. unsulfured molasses
  • 3 TBSP hickory flavor liquid smoke
  • 3 baby back rib racks 

Seasoning Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 c. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp celery seed
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Before leaving home, mix the seasoning ingredients in a container until blended and seal. Transport to the campground to use when you’re ready to cook.
  2. Wash and dry all produce. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
  3. In a large sauce pan, over medium heat or your campfire, melt the butter and thoroughly coat the bottom.
  4. Add in onions and garlic to sauté until translucent and fragrant.
  5. Next, add in the ketchup, tomato sauce, red wine vinegar, molasses, and liquid smoke.
  6. Stir until thoroughly combined and smooth.
  7. Add the seasoning mix that you made from home and shimmer until the sauce has thickened – 20 minutes.
  8. Remove the silverskin from the ribs, if necessary, and cut to fit into the Dutch oven.
  9. Build up your fire and add coals to the fire to heat.
  10. Pour the sauce over the ribs and stir to thoroughly coat. You’ll need to rotate the ribs a few times during cooking to ensure they all get nice and tender from the sauce.
  11. Arrange the coals to set the Dutch oven over them and top with a lid. Add coals to the lid to ensure even cooking.
  12. Simmer for 4-6 hours, being sure to monitor the ribs and rotate to prevent charring.
  13. Serve hot and with baked beans, potato salad, roasted corn, or whatever sides you love!
