How to Make Spicy Apricot Ribs

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large pot, combine ribs with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. This par-boiling ensures incredibly tender ribs.
While ribs are par-boiling, prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine apricot preserves, chili garlic sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened (about 10-15 minutes).
Remove ribs from the pot and pat dry with paper towels.
Place ribs in a baking dish and generously coat with the apricot sauce.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until ribs are tender and the sauce is caramelized, basting occasionally with the remaining sauce.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
