| 3 cups pomegranate 100% juice | |
| 1 cup ketchup | |
| 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar | |
| 3 tablespoons honey | |

| 2 teaspoons garlic powder | |
| 2 teaspoons onion powder | |
| 1 teaspoon smoked paprika | |
| 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper | |
| ¼ cup lime juice |
Preparation
1
Preheat your grill, whether it's charcoal or gas, to reach a temperature of 400°F.
Take three racks of the baby's back ribs and remove the membrane from the back. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Mix the brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chili powder in a small bowl. This will be used to season the ribs.
2
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on both sides of the ribs. This will help the dry rub adhere to the meat.
Sprinkle the prepared dry rub on both sides of the ribs, applying a heavier amount on the meat side. Make sure to coat the ribs evenly with the seasoning.
3
Take a few pieces of foil, enough to completely wrap the ribs. Place the ribs on the foil and wrap them tightly.
Place the wrapped ribs on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the ribs reaches 205°F. This slow-cooking process will make the meat tender and flavorful.
4
Whisk all together, bring to a boil, bring the heat to low, and cook for about 45 minutes; whisk every 5 minutes, stir in the lime juice in the end, bring to room temperature, and keep in a glass jar.
5
Unwrap the ribs, coat them with BBQ sauce, remove them from the foil, and place them directly on the grill for another 10 minutes. Flip the ribs once and apply another layer of BBQ sauce before taking them off the grill. Let the ribs rest for 15 minutes. Enjoy!

Happy Grilling! Enjoy
Recipe Tips & Suggestions
How to store and reheat your ribs:
To store leftover ribs, allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or place them in an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
When it's time to reheat the ribs, you have several options. One method is to preheat your grill to medium heat and place the ribs on the grill. Brush them with some additional BBQ sauce to keep them moist. Heat for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the ribs are heated through.
Another option is to use the oven. Preheat your oven to 300°F. Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil or in a baking dish. Cover the ribs with foil to prevent them from drying out. Heat in the oven for about 20-30 minutes or until they are heated through.
