Instructions for Cooking Conventionally
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place ribs in a an oven proof glass casserole dish. Pour in root beer and seal tightly with aluminum foil.
Cook for 3 hours until ribs are easily pierced with a fork, but not falling apart. Place ribs on a parchment lined sheet tray.
While ribs are cooking, place the blackberry preserves, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar in a small sauce pan over medium heat and whisk to combine. Let glaze simmer and reduce by 1/3. Turn off the heat and whisk in the butter.
Brush the glaze on the ribs and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, brushing with the glaze again halfway through. Remove from the oven, brush with a little more glaze and serve with your favorite slaw or potato salad.
