Calories 1023kcal
Ingredients
- 1 rack pork spare ribs or baby back ribs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp dry rub for ribs
- ½ cup cranberry sauce
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup jalapeños fresh or pickled
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker or pellet grill to 250°F.
- Remove the membrane from your rack of ribs, then coat the entire rack in olive oil to act as a binder for your seasoning.
- Season the ribs on all sides with the dry rub and let the ribs sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Once your smoker is preheated, place the ribs on the grates and let them smoke for 2-½ to 3 hours. If you are making homemade cranberry sauce this is a perfect time to whip it up!
- After 2-½ to 3 hours your ribs should have a nice bark and they’re ready to wrap. Lay down a sheet of foil and add the cranberry sauce, brown sugar, and pickled jalapeños.
- Remove the ribs from the smoker and flip them meat side down on top of the wrap ingredients.
- Wrap them tightly and return them to the smoker for another two hours, or until the bones are sticking out ½” and they reach 200°F internal temperature.
- Carefully remove the wrapped ribs from the smoker. The liquid in the wrap will be hot, so use caution not to spill it.
- Let the ribs rest at room temperature for at least 10-15 minutes, then slice between the bones and enjoy!
