Apricot Glazed Sticky Pork Ribs

apricot glazed sticky pork ribs

Today’s recipe for these sumptuous apricot glazed sticky pork ribs are the ultimate quarantine indulgence. I’ve been making a variation of these ribs for years, and, quite frankly, they’re freaking delightful. The meat literally collapses off the bone after slow roasting in the oven for a few hours, and that sticky-sweet apricot glaze, spiked with fresh ginger and apple cider, is something akin to a young lover’s passionate embrace on a hot, humid Southern evening.  

Whew — is it getting hot in here?

  • The earnestness of my 10 year old continues to kill me. During the distance learning and the lockdown he started a club among neighborhood kids called Forest Patrol to be on the lookout for wildlife and to keep the ‘hood clean. I introduced him @customink for making club shirts, and they arrived today. The club is raising money to pay for shirts; keep your eyes peeled for a doe-eyed boy who may be making the rounds near you offering to pick up rubbish in your yard! . . . . . #wowintheworld #tshirtdesign #kidlife #lifeinlockdown #socialdistancing #savetheplanet #earthday #kidsofinstagram #kidsactivities

  • Tonight’s dinner was a slow braised @fieldsofathenryfarmva pork shank with sautéed spinach over Geechie Boy grits, all drizzled with a porky reduction. This all paired well with a pre-dinner cocktail, a grapefruit and cinnamon Winter in Paradise from @cocktailcourier. My family said that it’s been too long since I blogged and I need to return to it post haste. . . . . . . #food #nomnomnom #thatsdarling #thehappynow #thekitchn #instayum #instafood #igfoodie #f52grams #chefmode #instapic #droolclub #bhgfood #goodeats #eatfamous #hungry #foodgasm #honestcooking #foodgawker #foodgram #foodstagram #eatstagram #foodshare #dinnerparty #foodie #foodblog #eeeeeats #yum #slowfood #southernfoodwaysalliance

  • Cherry blossoms at peak bloom in our Capitol! This year, traffic is still restricted and @cherryblossfest is virtual, but it was still liberating to be outside with my family to do something that felt relatively “normal.” Our country is so beautiful. . . . . . #wdc #washingtondc #spring #springbreak #cherryblossom #sakura #touristinmyowncity #washingtondccherryblossoms #capitol #usa #nature #naturephotography #instagood #instadaily #instalove #photooftheday #naturelover #outside #photogram
  • Friday night and it’s the first week that I’ve felt really like myself since my accident. Thank you all for your well wishes! I’m back to puttering in the kitchen, putting finishing touches on a whole wheat naan recipe I will someday post on the blog when my brain is not clouded by pandemic thoughts. These naan hugged some tandoori grilled chicken, zucchini and eggplant for a stack of juicy charred goodness. I’M BACK, GUYS.
