Basting Baby Backs

[LexB89]

Hi guy's,

If I was going to baste baby back ribs what should I use to baste with?

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Every body on this forum will have a different answer. Do you like ketchupy sweet sauce. mustard sauce, or vinegar sauce?

I like to use an apple cider reduction. Just boil the cider down until it's almost a syrup. Add a pad or two of butter and a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon. This also works really well with pork tenderloins.

I simply use what I have which is a lot of raw honey it's not a syrup and needs to be spooned out, about 1/4 cup water to two T honey it tastes like apple juice. I should say I do add butter at times

Thanks olaf---a lot

I use a mix of apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, & bbq sauce. I usually keep it on the firebox or the top of the smoker to keep it hot. And mop the ribs when they start to look dry, about every 45 minutes. I sort of just drop the mop down on the ribs, so I don’t knock all the rub off.

Not much of a baster, but all of the suggestions here are legit. Apple and pork are like a perfect marriage.

With that said, I like vinegar based, not water or tomato. Here in NC, barbecue means only one thing...

Apple cider doesn't have vinegar in it. I'm just boiling most(not all) of the water out. Apple cider is just raw apple juice - non filtered.

Ok Thx--I didn't think you could get syrup from apple vinegar.

I'm liking the honey idea.

Hot water I assume?

I tried baisting with honey, butter and water mixture.

Worked a treat!

Glad that worked out now you only have 20 more ways to do your ribs.

I use this:

Crawford's Peach Pit Spritz

Keep your protein from drying up during the cooking process with this peach flavored spritz. Spray, brine, or marinade your meats for better results full of moisture.
