Blackberry BBQ Ribs
Looking to impress at your next cookout? These Blackberry BBQ Ribs are sweet, smoky, and straight-up unforgettable. Using a bold marinade packed with fruit, spice, and a hint of coffee, these ribs take a slow approach to flavor—but trust us, they’re worth every minute.
Ingredients:
2 bottles Tiger Sauce
36 oz blackberry jam or jelly
½ cup brewed coffee
½ cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp vanilla
2 Tbsp Tee’s Original Smoke
1 lb brown sugar
Blackberry BBQ Sauce (for basting):
Mix 4 oz of the marinade with a 20 oz bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce (like Jack Daniel’s) for a quick, tangy glaze.
Instructions:
Marinate the ribs: Mix all marinade ingredients thoroughly and coat your ribs generously. Store in the fridge overnight—or ideally, for up to 5 days for max flavor.
Smoke & Roast (3-2-1 method):
Smoke ribs at 225°F for 3 hours.
Wrap in foil and roast in the oven at 325°F for 2 hours.
Unwrap, baste with Blackberry BBQ Sauce, and finish on the grill (or oven at 300°F) for 1 hour.
Check for doneness by gently pulling on a rib bone. Want fall-off-the-bone tender? Keep cooking until the meat gives easily.
Why we love it:
The combo of fruit-forward sweetness and Tee’s smoky backbone makes this a flavor bomb worth repeating. Serve with grilled corn and a cold drink—you’re golden.
