Instructions
 

Prepare the Ribs:

    - Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

      - Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for more tender results. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.

        - In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.

          - Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.

            Bake the Ribs:

              - Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil, placing them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until tender.

                Make the Peach BBQ Sauce:

                  - While the ribs are baking, combine the pureed peaches, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, crushed red pepper flakes, and ground coriander in a saucepan over medium heat.

                    - Stir occasionally and let the mixture come to a simmer. Reduce heat and let it cook for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

                      Glaze the Ribs:

                        - After baking, carefully unwrap the ribs and discard the foil (watch out for steam). Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).

                          - Place the ribs on a baking sheet, brush a generous amount of the peach BBQ sauce over the ribs, and return them to the oven.

                            - Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, basting with more sauce halfway through, until the sauce is sticky and caramelized.

                              Serve:

                                - Remove ribs from the oven and let them rest for about 10 minutes. Slice into individual portions.

                                  - Serve garnished with fresh peach slices and chopped green onions or cilantro. Pair with your favorite sides like coleslaw or cornbread!
