To make the glaze, melt butter over medium heat, add jam, brown sugar, and habanero, stir until jam is dissolved. Stir bourbon in.

Split the ribs into individual ribs and marinate in BBQ sauce and place in ovenproof dish, making sure ribs are covered and immersed in sauce.
Cover with aluminum foil, and cook 12 to 14 hours at 106°C.
Meat should fall off the bone.

Glaze meat with Peach, Bourbon and Habanero glaze. Chargrill and serve with Dirty Rice and dollops of Habanero and Peach Relish. (See recipes below)

To make the Dirty Rice:

Put rice, water, ground spices and a tablespoon of butter in a pot and stir well. Bring to the boil, and then turn to a simmer. Cook until rice is tender (should take around 12 minutes)
While rice is cooking finely dice capsicum, onion, celery and garlic. Sautee off in the remaining butter, until translucent.
When rice is cooked fold through sautéed vegetables and tin of black beans. Season with salt and pepper.

To make the Habanero and Peach Relish:

Chargrill habanero peppers until softened (remove seeds and membranes if you don’t like heat), also chargrill the shallot in halves and cleaned.
In a food processor place peaches and the peach liquid, garlic, habaneros, shallots, coriander and seasoning. Blend until smooth.
