Steps:
- Rinse the ribs in cold water and pad dry. Trim any excess fat or connective tissue. Only leave what you want to eat.
- Once the ribs are prepped, I apply my favorite rub generously. Make sure to cover all the sides and edges of the ribs.Cover the ribs and keep in the fridge for 2 hours or more.
- Remove the ribs from the fridge and allow to warm slightly on the counter. Fire up the smoker to 225F. I use Pecan or Cherry, when smoking ribs.
- Once the smoker is at proper temp, place the ribs on the grill meat side up.
- Now you can pretty much wait for the three hours to pass or some fanatics prefer to spritz their ribs every 30-45 minutes with a 50/50 mixture of apple cider vinegar and water. Adding moisture to the ribs aids in a smoky bark. After three hours, remove the ribs and place each rack meat side up on a large piece of Heavy Duty tin foil.
- Brush melted butter over the tops of the ribs then followed by brushing the melted honey. You can spritz the ribs for extra moisture at this time. Flip the racks around so the bone side is facing up. Brush with melted butter and melted honey.
- Leave the racks bone side up and wrap the ribs tightly. Place back on the smoker bone side up for 45-60 minutes. Keep the temp at 225F. Optional: If you want the ribs more tender or closer to fall of the bone, cook in the foil for 1.5-2 hours.
- Remove the ribs from the foil and place back on the grill. Brush the ribs with your favorite bbq sauce. Cook for approximately 30-45 more minutes at 225F.
- Check for doneness by using your grill tongs and pickup up the ribs and give them a slight bounce. If the meat starts to slightly split, the ribs are done.Remove from the smoker and cover in foil. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Be a professional and take a sharp knife (I use a Henkel Serrated Bread Knife) and cut each rib individually. You'll notice how the ribs don't fall apart as you cut. Also look for that beautiful pink smoke ring.

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs. Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for cranberry ribs, but you can also use spare ribs or country-style ribs. Just be sure to trim off any excess fat before cooking.
- Make the cranberry sauce ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop. You can make the sauce up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
- Slow-cook the ribs. This is the best way to achieve tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs. Cook the ribs on low heat for at least 6 hours, or until the meat is cooked through.
- Baste the ribs with the cranberry sauce. This will help to keep the ribs moist and flavorful. Baste the ribs every hour or so during the cooking process.
- Finish the ribs in the oven. This will help to caramelize the sauce and give the ribs a nice crispy exterior. Bake the ribs in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the ribs are browned.
Conclusion:
Smoky cranberry ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ribs are tender and fall-off-the-bone, and the cranberry sauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone. Whether you're serving them at a backyard barbecue or a holiday dinner, these ribs are sure to be a hit.
