We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Place ribs into a large aluminum tray.

  • Step 2: Prepare the ribs by pulling the extra "silver skin" off the back of the ribs.

  • Step 3: In a bowl, combine all the rub ingredients together.

  • Step 4: Season ribs liberally, and rub it into the rib meat.

  • Step 5: Cover rib tray with foil.

  • Step 6: Heat grill to 300 degrees F. (Keep an eye on the grill temperature). Try to keep it at a consistent 300 degrees F. during the entire cooking time. Cook ribs for about 2 hours.

  • Step 7: In a small pot, combine sauce ingredients.

  • Step 8: Remove the ribs from the aluminum tray, and place directly on the grill (You may need to coat the grill grates with oil or grill-safe non-stick cooking spray to keep it from sticking.)

  • Step 9: Apply sauce liberally to the ribs.

  • Step 10: Place lid back down on the grill, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Carefully flip the ribs over, and add another coating of sauce. Cook for 5 more minutes. Continue this a couple more times, to get a thick coating of sticky sauce on the ribs.

  • Step 11: Remove ribs from the grill and serve.

  • RECIPE NOTES FOR THE SMOKER

  • Step 12: Mix rub together and season ribs liberally, after pulling skin off the back of the ribs.

  • Step 13: Throw ribs on a smoker, at 300 degrees F, for 1 hour.

  • Step 14: After the 1st hour, wrap ribs in foil, and put back on the smoker for another hour.

  • Step 15: While the ribs are cooking in the foil, in a small sauce pan, heat marmalade and honey to incorporate.

  • Step 16: At the end of the 2nd hour, open ribs up, and dress the ribs with the marmalade and honey mixture.

  • Step 17: Leave the ribs exposed, so the heat can caramelize the honey and marmalade to the ribs.

  • Step 18: At the end of the 3rd hour, take your ribs off the grill, and remove from foil.

  • Step 19: Slice, and serve.
