Looking for a mouth-watering, gluten-free, and dairy-free main dish that's sure to impress your dinner guests? Look no further than these Not Your Every Day Smoked Pork Spare Ribs! Perfect for a leisurely lunch or a cozy dinner, this recipe combines the rich, smoky flavors of pork spareribs with a spicy, tangy rub that will make your taste buds dance. With a total cook time of 12 hours, these ribs are best prepared in advance, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender and succulent.

The secret to these ribs lies in the complex spice blend, which features a tantalizing mix of brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin, balanced by a kick of cayenne pepper and a hint of cinnamon. After generously coating the ribs with the rub, they're left to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, ensuring that every bite is packed with flavor.

To achieve that coveted smoky taste, the ribs are slow-cooked on a grill or smoker, with regular basting using a homemade mop sauce made from apple cider, apple cider vinegar, and a dash of hot pepper sauce. The addition of soaked wood chips adds an authentic smokiness that elevates this dish to a true barbecue experience.

  • 0.5 cup brown sugar packed
  • teaspoon ground pepper 
  • tablespoons chili powder 
  • tablespoon garlic powder 
  • teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  • teaspoons ground cumin 
  • teaspoons kosher salt

  • tablespoon onion powder 
  • tablespoon paprika

Equipment

  • bowl
  • grill

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 2 teaspoons onion powder, kosher salt, cumin, cinnamon, jalapeno seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Rub generously onto the pork spareribs. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  2. Prepare an outdoor grill for indirect heat, or preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). While the grill heats up, prepare the mop sauce. In a medium bowl, stir together the apple cider, apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, lemon juice, jalapeno, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper.
  3. When the coals are gray and ashed over, place 2 handfuls of soaked woodchips directly on them.
  4. Place the ribs on the grill grate bone side down. Cover, and cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
  5. Add more coals as needed. Baste with the mop sauce, and throw handfuls of soaked woodchips onto the coals every hour. Keep the temperature of the grill or smoker from going below 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Ribs are done when the rub has created a wonderful crispy blackened 'bark', and the meat has pulled away from the bone. Discard any leftover mop sauce.
