Ingredients

1/2 cup tomato puree
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp. molasses
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 peach, sliced (about 1 cup)
1/2 medium onion
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 1/2 oz. smoked slab bacon, cut into 1-in. pieces
3 Tbsp. bourbon
2 racks baby back ribs (about 1 3/4 lbs per rack)
Kosher salt and pepper

Directions

1. Step 1In small saucepan, combine tomato puree, vinegar, molasses, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and cumin, then stir in peach, onion, garlic, and bacon. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced by one-fourth, 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Step 2Transfer mixture to blender and puree until smooth, then blend in bourbon. Transfer scant 1 cup to small bowl and set aside for serving later.
3. Step 3Heat grill to medium. Season each rack of ribs with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; place on grill, bone side down, then brush tops with 1/2 cup sauce and grill, covered, 15 minutes.
4. Step 4Flip racks over and grill, covered, 10 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to medium-high and grill, basting with some remaining sauce and turning occasionally, until cooked through and beginning to char, 5 to 6 minutes more. Transfer to cutting board, brush with some of remaining sauce and let rest at least 5 minutes before cutting. Serve with remaining sauce.
