Items needed to answer the question, How do I impress with Slow-cooked Ribs with Honey and Lavender Glaze. Items include:  Ribs  Honey  Balsamic vinegar  Soy sauce  Dijon mustard  Dried lavender
  • Ribs 3 pounds of baby back ribs
  • Honey 3/4 cup
  • Balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons
  • Soy sauce 4 tablespoons
  • Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon
  • Dried lavender 2 teaspoons

Take note
Be cautious when handling hot objects and sharp utensils. Make sure to keep an eye on the ribs while slow-cooking to prevent them from burning.

1

Prepare the marinade

In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of dried lavender. Stir well until everything is well combined.

2

Marinate the ribs

Place the ribs in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

3

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). This low and slow cooking temperature will help to tenderize the ribs and infuse them with incredible flavor.

4

Slow-cook the ribs

Line a baking tray with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place the marinated ribs on the tray, making sure they are in a single layer. Cover the tray with foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Let the ribs cook for 3 hours, until they are fork-tender.

5

Make the glaze

While the ribs are slow-cooking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of dried lavender. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

6

Glaze the ribs

After 3 hours of slow-cooking, remove the ribs from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Brush the glaze generously over the ribs, making sure to coat them evenly. Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 15 minutes to caramelize the glaze.

7

Serve and enjoy!

Once the ribs are beautifully glazed and caramelized, remove them from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes, then slice them into individual ribs. Serve hot and watch as your guests marvel at your culinary mastery!
