Ingredients:  
2 slabs baby back ribs (about 3 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 bacon slices
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 onion
3 smashed garlic cloves
2 cups ketchup
1 cup peach preserves
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or 1 tablespoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground paprika
2 jalepenos peppers
2 tablespoons Cayenne Pepper
3 tablespoons Texas Pete hotsauce
Directions:
Directions:
Special equipment: Kitchen twine

Make the sauce. (This can be done prior to smoking the ribs, up to a week or two) Wrap the bacon around the middle of the thyme sprigs and tie with kitchen twine so you have a nice bundle. Heat a 2-count of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the thyme bundle and cook slowly for 3 to 4 minutes to render the bacon fat and give the sauce a nice smoky taste. Add the onion and garlic and cook slowly, without coloring, for 5 minutes. Add all of the rest of the sauce ingredients, give the sauce a stir, and turn the heat down to low. Cook slowly for 20 minutes to meld the flavors. Put some sauce in a separate bowl for basting, reserving the remaining sauce for serving.

Put the ribs on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil then season with salt and pepper.

Place ribs in a smoker and smoke for 45 min to 1 hour at about 225 degrees (indirect heat).

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Stick the ribs in the oven, and let the ribs bake, low and slow for 1 1/2 hours.

Baste the ribs with the sauce and let them continue cooking, basting twice more, for 30 more minutes. When the ribs are cooked, take them out of the oven. You can let them hang out like this until you're ready to eat.

When ready to eat, preheat the broiler for 5 minutes and broil the ribs, basting with the sauce. They should become crisp and charred, about 5 minutes on each side. Pick the onion and garlic out of the sauce and serve with ribs.

Personal Notes:
The smoking part of this recipe does not have to be done but really completes the taste. Try different types of wood to change the taste.
