BBQ Marmalade Ribs

Ingredients

• 4 lbs Pork Ribs

Rib Rub:

• 2 tsp coarse salt
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 T garlic powder
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper

BBQ Marmalade Sauce:

• 3 C your favorite BBQ sauce (we love Sweet Baby Ray)
• 2 T honey
• ¼ C. orange marmalade

Instructions

For the BBQ Marmalade Sauce

1. combine all sauce ingredients in a medium bowl and stir well.

Conventional Oven:

1. Preheat to 300 degrees F. Coat ribs with rub mixture. Wrap ribs in aluminum foil and place on baking sheet. Bake for 2 ½ hours. Remove from oven, coat ribs generously with BBQ Marmalade. At this point, I like to put the ribs in the fridge (can make ahead up to 24 hours) then when it’s Tailgate time, put them on a hot grill for 2-3 minutes each side to heat them up and sear the sauce.

Smoker: If you have a smoker, here’s our favorite way to cook these ribs.

1. Set smoker to 225 F.
2. Coat ribs with rub mixture, place in smoker for 3 hours. Remove ribs, coat with a thin coating of BBQ Marmalade and wrap in aluminum foil. Continue smoking for 2 hours. Remove ribs, coat generously with sauce and smoke for 1 additional hour.
