Time 4h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon salt
2 large racks (4 pounds or more) pork ribs
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup tomato juice
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup hot sauce
1 cup barbecue sauce (your choice)

Steps:

  • A few hours before beginning the slow cooking of the ribs, make the rub by combining garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, mustard, and salt in a bowl and mixing well. Rub the mix into the meat and let sit for at least an hour. The mixture will begin to cure the meat.
  • About 30 minutes before beginning to barbecue, heat the grill.
  • Wrap ribs in heavy duty aluminum foil and place on the grill over indirect heat and slowly cook for about 2 hours, turning occasionally.
  • While the ribs are cooking, begin the sauce on the stovetop. Combine apple juice, tomato juice, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and barbecue sauce in a saucepan, stirring to mix well. Simmer over low heat until it beings to thicken. Let simmer for 1/2 hour. Reserve about 1 cup to serve on the side with the ribs, and use the rest to brush on the ribs as they barbecue.
  • When the meat begins to become fork tender, unwrap ribs and begin brushing on the sauce. Continue to apply the sauce to the ribs during the barbeque process. When ribs are able to pull apart, they are ready.

SPICY COUNTRY RIBS



Spicy Country Ribs image

I use country ribs for this recipe because they are meatier than baby-backs and tend to have fewer bones. You could however, make this with baby-back ribs and reduce the cooking time somewhat. I like to serve them with biscuits and cole slaw on the side.

Time 4h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 23

¼ cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 racks Smithfield® Extra Tender Pork Back Ribs, membrane removed
1 cup Handful hickory or apple wood chips for smoking, soaked in water and drained
¾ cup apple juice, in a spray bottle
1 ½ cups ketchup
½ cup light brown sugar
½ cup distilled white vinegar, plus
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
⅓ cup water, plus
1 tablespoon water
1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
⅓ cup cherry preserves

Steps:

  • About one hour before smoking, make the dry rub. Combine all ingredients in small bowl; mix well. Pat ribs dry with paper towels; generously coat both sides of ribs with rub. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine all ingredients except cherry preserves in medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in preserves. Set aside to cool.
  • Heat charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking at 250 to 300 degrees F. Add drained wood chips, if using.
  • Place the ribs, meaty side down, over a drip pan and cook for 2 hours spraying both sides of ribs with apple juice every 20 to 30 minutes. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
  • Remove ribs from grill. Double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return wrapped ribs to the grill and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours more over indirect heat, until very tender. Add more coals as needed to maintain temperature for a charcoal grill.
  • Remove ribs from grill and unwrap. Place ribs over direct heat on grill and brush with glaze. Cook for about 5 minutes until the glaze is set. Turn ribs and repeat with more glaze.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular for this recipe, but you can also use spare ribs or country-style ribs.
  • Make sure the ribs are trimmed: Remove any excess fat or cartilage from the ribs before marinating or cooking them.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the ribs their flavor, so make sure to use a recipe that you like. The marinade in this recipe is made with cherry preserves, soy sauce, brown sugar, and spices.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to cook ribs is low and slow. This will help them to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs regularly: While the ribs are cooking, baste them with the marinade or a mixture of barbecue sauce and cherry preserves. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to retain their juices.

Conclusion:

Spicy cherry ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a new recipe to try, give these spicy cherry ribs a try. You won't be disappointed!
