INGREDIENTS
-
1 clove garlic
-
½ cup fresh orange juice (about 2 large oranges)
-
5 tbsp honey
-
2½ tbsp brown sugar
-
½ tbsp soy sauce
-
2 pounds pork spare ribs
DIRECTIONS
Peel and crush the garlic, then mix it with orange juice, honey, brown sugar, and soy sauce in a shallow casserole dish or plastic freezer bag. Place the pork spare ribs in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally to ensure even coating.
When ready to cook, preheat your smoker to 225°F and load 4 ounces of apple, cherry, or maple wood. Remove ribs from marinade and place directly on the rack. Smoke for 3 to 4 hours, or until ribs are tender and nicely caramelized.
Pro tip – For a deeper flavor, reserve some of the marinade and simmer it down into a glaze to brush on during the final 30 minutes of smoking.
