Step 1
Place all the MARINADE ingredients in a food processor fitted with the metal blade and puree.
Step 2
Place the ribs in a large nonreactive container and pour the marinade over them to cover. Cover the container and allow the ribs to marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 4
While the ribs are marinating, make the BRAISING LIQUID.
Step 5
Combine all the braising ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
Step 6
When the ribs have finished marinating, place them in a large Dutch oven with the liquid and braise, covered, for 2 hours.
Step 7
While the ribs are braising, make the barbecue sauce.
Step 8
In a medium saucepan, saute the onion and red pepper in olive oil over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer over low heat for 40 minutes.
Step 9
Allow the mixture to cook slightly, then puree in a food processor fitted with the metal blade.
Step 10
Turn oven up to 350 degrees and place the ribs on a baking sheet.
Step 11
Pour the guava barbecue sauce over the ribs and bake for 15 minutes.
NOTE: If you prefer, grill for 5 minutes on each side and finish in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes, being careful as molasses tends to burn on the grill.
