Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
-
Step 2.
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon seasoning salt, 2½ teaspoons onion powder, 2 teaspoons garlic salt, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper. Stir well and set aside.
-
Step 3.
Place the 5 pounds pork ribs (membranes removed) on a flat surface and drizzle with 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Rub the oil all over the ribs, then generously season both sides with the seasoning mixture.
-
Step 4.
Place the ribs in a baking dish or rimmed baking sheet, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour.
-
Step 5.
While the ribs bake, make the blackberry glaze: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 6 ounces fresh blackberries, ½ cup barbecue sauce, ½ cup blackberry jam, ¼ cup water, 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, and 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil. Mash the blackberries with a spoon and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Step 6.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and discard the foil. Heavily brush the blackberry glaze on both sides of the ribs.
-
Step 7.
Bake the ribs, uncovered, for 30 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
