Smoked ribs with a zesty twist of sweet strawberries and spicy jalapenos for a tantalizing flavor experience.
Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 rack spareribs
  • 2 slabs baby back pork ribs
  • 1 cup apple juice, or more to taste
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, cut in half lengthwise and seeded
  • 0.5 cup beer, or more to taste
  • 0.5 onion, chopped
  • 0.25 cup sugar-free strawberry preserves, or more to taste
  • 3 tablespoons barbeque sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, or more to taste
  • sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • Combine kosher salt, cumin, oregano, minced garlic, chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, celery seed, and ground thyme in a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Place the baby back rib slabs and sparerib rack on aluminum foil sheets. Massage the spice mixture onto the ribs, then wrap each slab in the foil. Pour apple juice into each packet and seal them tightly. Let the ribs marinate for 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat the broiler with the oven rack positioned 6 inches below. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange jalapeno peppers cut-side down on it.
  • Place jalapeno peppers under the broiler until blackened and blistered, about 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap to steam as they cool for about 20 minutes. Peel and discard skins.
  • In a blender, combine jalapeno peppers, beer, onion, strawberry preserves, barbeque sauce, olive oil, garlic cloves, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Blend until smooth. Transfer the sauce to a container, cover, and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to a cozy 200 degrees F (95 degrees C), then lay the foil-wrapped ribs in a single layer on baking sheets.
  • Bake ribs in a preheated oven for 1 hour. Increase oven temperature to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C) and cook for an additional 2 to 3 hours until ribs are almost tender.
  • Preheat the smoker to a low and slow 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Remove the wrapping from the ribs, dispose of the apple juice, and transfer the ribs onto the smoker.
  • Smoke the meat until the surface is slightly dry, about 5 to 10 minutes. Brush sauce on ribs every 15 minutes and flip every 30 minutes while continuing to cook until tender, approximately 1 hour.
