Tomato Barbecue Baby Back Ribs

These tomato barbecue baby back ribs are the ultimate comfort food for meat lovers. The homemade sauce combines the deep, caramel notes of molasses with tangy cider vinegar and sweet ketchup, creating a thick glaze that clings perfectly to the meat. Slow-baked in the oven until tender, these ribs offer a balance of smoky, sweet and savoury flavours that far surpass any shop-bought alternative.

As a high-protein main course, this dish is ideal for weekend entertaining or a hearty family dinner. Serving the ribs with a crisp apple slaw or buttery corn on the cob provides a fresh contrast to the rich glaze. Simple to prepare and rewarding to eat, this recipe ensures succulent results every time by using a two-stage baking method to lock in moisture.
