Ingredients

3	lbs. baby back ribs, (2 slabs)
1	Kosher salt
1	freshly ground black pepper
1	tbsp. Extra-virgin olive oil
54	grams (2 slices) bacon
1	tsp. (4 sprigs) fresh thyme
1/2	onion
3	tsp. (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 wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
1	teaspoon ground cumin
1	teaspoon ground paprika

Directions

1. Special equipment: Kitchen twine
   
   
2. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
   
   
3. Put the ribs on a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
   
   
4. Stick them in the oven, and let the ribs bake, low and slow for 1 1/2 hours.
   
   
5. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
   
   
6. 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.
   
   
7. 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.
   
   
8. Add the onion and garlic and cook slowly, without coloring, for 5 minutes.
   
   
9. Add all of the rest of the sauce ingredients, give the sauce a stir, and turn the heat down to low.
   
   
10. Cook slowly for 20 minutes to meld the flavors.
    
    
11. Put some sauce in a separate bowl for basting, reserving the remaining sauce for serving.
    
    
12. Baste the ribs with the sauce and let them continue cooking, basting twice more, for 30 more minutes.
    
    
13. 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.
    
    
14. When ready to eat, preheat the broiler for 5 minutes and broil the ribs, basting with the sauce.
    
    
15. They should become crisp and charred, about 5 minutes on each side.
    
    
16. Pick the onion and garlic out of the sauce and serve with ribs.
