Pumpkin Spice season is upon us!
I know you may be thinking, “Oh gosh, pumpkin spiced ribs? How basic”… Well I’ll admit pumpkin spice has a bad reputation but it isn’t reserved for only candles and lattes. It’s just a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and ginger. So you can basically use it for anything and what’s better than some spiced ribs?
This is a hit with my family and everyone agrees its a great Autumn twist on the classic ribs that you don’t have to grill or smoke!
Enjoy 🙂

- Step 6
- Rub yellow mustard and the crushed garlic all over the ribs, massaging it with your hands into both sides. Add the dry rub on top and gently press and rub it in- reserve some of the rub for reapplication. Do not over apply because it will melt off.

- Step 9
- Halfway through the cooking, take the garlic under the ribs and smash it into some of the pan drippings. Add a couple dashes of water and garlic salt. Then when the ribs are ready, put it in the microwave for 15 seconds and use it as a dipping sauce.
- Step 10
- The ribs are done when they are tender and the bones pull out easily. Enjoy!
