Pitmaster Rodney Scott is famous for his whole-hog barbecue, which is why this recipe will make a whole gallon of his tangy, vinegar-based sauce. Not to worry-it can easily be scaled down for use in smaller scale recipes like these Spare Ribs. This recipe comes from the cookbook, Rodney Scott's World of BBQ, ($24.99, amazon.com) by Rodney Scott and Lolis Eric Elie.

Yield Makes 1 Gallon

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 gallon distilled white vinegar
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1/2 cup freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup cayenne pepper
1 1/4 tablespoons red pepper flakes
2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • In a small stockpot, warm vinegar over medium-high heat. When vinegar reaches 150°F on an instant-read thermometer, and just before it starts to simmer (after about 5 minutes), add lemon slices and continue to cook until lemon peels begin to soften and wilt, about 10 minutes more.

RODNEY SCOTT'S SPARE RIBS

Where there's smoke, there's mouthwatering barbecue-at least in the presence of a pro pitmaster like Rodney Scott. This stellar ribs recipe comes from his new book, Rodney Scott's World of BBQ, ($24.99, amazon.com).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 slabs pork spare ribs, membranes removed
1 1/2 tablespoons Rib Rub
2 to 3 cups Rodney Scott's Sauce

Steps:

  • Fire up your grill to between 200°F and 250°F. Season each slab with rib rub. Make sure you get under the flap, the little piece of meat that dangles on the bone side of the ribs. Place seasoned ribs on grill grate, bone-sides down, with fatty ends toward middle of grill. (The middle of the grill tends to be hotter, so that will ensure that the thicker part of the rib gets cooked properly.)
  • Close the grill and cook: You are looking for caramelization on the ribs before you flip them; that should take about 1½ hours. Open the grill and look for caramelization on the bone.
  • If it's ready, use the mop-flip-mop method: Mop the visible side of the meat with sauce. Flip the meat over. Mop the meat again. Close the grill; bring it back up to temperature, between 200° to 250°. Cook until the second sides get that same caramelized look.
  • To check doneness, we pick up a slab of ribs with a pair of tongs and check how much give there is. When you pick the slab up, it should sag or flop easily. If a slight tear develops in the meat between the bones, that's another sign of doneness.
