Step 2

Mix together the brown sugar, ginger, cayenne, clove, cinnamon, paprika, oregano, pepper, salt, and lime zest; set aside. Squeeze the limes, and add the juice to the orange juice. Rub the ribs well with the spice mixture. Place into a glass baking dish, and pour in the juice.
Step 3

Cover the dish, and bake in preheated oven for 90 minutes. Uncover, then continue cooking until nicely colored, 20 to 30 minutes more. Brush the ribs with the pan juices a few times while they are cooking.

Wonderful flavor - didn't change a thing - except the meat fell off the bone which some of my eaters aren't crazy about (they love the bones!) So I may bake it in the liquid for a shorter period and finish it off on the grill the next time. I served it with Watermelon Salsa and Spicy Sweet Potato Salad (both on this site - I thought this all sounded very Caribbean!) and good old corn on the cob. All the dishes were a hit particularly the Spicy Sweet Potato Salad (see review). Thanks submitter. Read More

These were OK. I liked the flavor but it wasn't hot enough for me. I think I would have liked them better on the grill. Read More

Very tasty. I doubled the rub recipe and sprinkled some on top after uncovering to create a crispy crust. I also added a tablespoon of garlic powder chili powder and a teaspoon of thyme for even more flavour. Thanks for sharing! Read More

Excellent great taste and simple to prepare. I placed everything in the slow cooker on low for 8 hours. The meat fell of the bone and the sauce was yummy. Read More

A big hit at our latest party. We finished them up on the grill instead of uncovered in the oven. Yummy! We made a ton and only had a few leftovers and they were good the next few days as well. Read More

Awesome awesome awesome!! I served these at a BBQ (finished them on the grill) and everyone raved. The flavor is truly incredible! I did omit the pepper and used Jamaican Jerk seasoning instead since I don't like things super-spicy and I was feeding a crowd. SUPER dish!! I'm going to try the same rub and marinade on a pork loin - bet that'll be great too! Read More

Awesome rub! I used 2 racks of babybacks put them in a pan covered with foil with about 1/3 of the juice mix at 225 for 2 1/2 hours. then cooled put them on the grill to heat with the rest of the juice for basting...a crowd pleaser for sure!! Read More

I've made this twice now and we can't get enough! I added a little Jamaican jerk spice to the rub and cut back a little on the pepper the 2nd time I made it. Rave reviews from family and dinner guests. Read More

Loved this rub! I actually put it on a 2 lb pork roast and the cooking time was right on. I had a little rub leftover and wanted to sprinkle it on everything - especially good on my potato salad. YUM! Read More
