SPICY SMOKED RIBS WITH PINEAPPLE RUM GLAZE



Spicy Smoked Ribs With Pineapple Rum Glaze image

Just loaded with wonderful flavor, even without using the dipping sauce, that really compliments the pork. These ribs are a real departure from the usual approach! In fact, this is our preferred way to have ribs most of the time now. I've adapted this recipe from the "License to Grill" show to the '3-2-1 method' of cooking ribs that I always use now. You can easily re-adapt this to your way of cooking ribs if you want, but the 3-2-1 method does yield great results every time. Don't let the list of ingredients and instructions intimidate you, it's really not that difficult or labor intensive to make. If you happen to have a pineapple on hand, you could add some rind from it along with the wood chips for an extra complimentary layer of flavor in the smoke.

Time 6h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 31

3 racks of baby-back pork ribs, membrane removed
3 cups cherry wood chips
4 cups apple wood chips
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 cups pineapple juice
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/8 cup butter
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
3/4 cup jamaican rum
2 cups pineapple juice
2 tablespoons hot sauce
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
1/2 cup ketchup
4 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon soya sauce
1 tablespoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This is easy to do by using a paper towel to get a good grip on the membrane at one end of rack with your fingers, and then simply peel it off. It seems to go easier by starting at the more narrow end.
  • Combine all the dry rub ingredients in a bowl and mix, then rub generously all over the ribs. Place the ribs in large ziplock bag and place in the fridge for 4 hours to marinate.
  • Place the wood chips in water to soak for an hour. If using a gas grill, only soak half of the chips, otherwise soak all of them for use on a charcoal grill.
  • Prepare the barbecue for indirect grilling by preheating to 225-240°F with only the burner on one side on and the grate above it removed.
  • For a gas grill you will make two smoke pouches. Divide the soaked wood chips onto two separate sheets of aluminum foil at one end of each one after squeezing out the excess water from the chips. Divide the dry chips and add them to each pile. Mix the dry and wet chips up a bit and fold over the other end of the foil to meet the end the chips are near, crimp along the edges to seal all around and poke holes into both sides with a fork. Repeat to create the other pouch. Place one of the smoke pouches directly over the hot burner. Close the lid and wait for smoke to start.
  • For a charcoal gill, simply squeeze out the excess water and add half of them directly onto the coals after they have turned ash white.
  • When the smoke starts to billow, place the ribs on the "cool" side of the grill and then close the lid. Cook for 3 hours. Replace the smoke pouch (or add the rest of the wood chips onto the fire bed for a charcoal grill) after it stops smoking, about an hour.
  • After the ribs have cooked for 1 hour, spray both sides with the pineapple juice in a spray bottle. Spray them again after two hours have passed, then a third time after 3 hours.
  • After they've cooked for 3 hours and the third spraying of pineapple juice has had some time to set in a bit, completely wrap up the ribs tightly in foil wrap and return them to the grill and close the lid to continue cooking this way for 2 hours. This is where the real cooking takes place.
  • In the meantime, combine the pineapple rum glaze ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until sauce has reduced to about half and has thickened, then set aside.
  • In another pot, start the rib sauce by bringing the pineapple juice, hot sauce and cilantro to a boil, and then reduce to medium heat. Add the remaining sauce ingredients and cook for 13 minutes. Reduce to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened and then set aside.
  • After the ribs have cooked for 2 hours wrapped in foil, remove them from the foil wrap and return them carefully to the grill. At this point, the ribs are extremely tender and can easily fall apart, so you may want to slid them onto the grill from the foil, rather than lift them on.
  • Continue to cook for 1 hour, hence the term '3-2-1' (hours). Baste the ribs frequently with the rum glaze during this last hour.
  • Remove the ribs from the grill (they will have firmed up after this last hour of cooking in the open again, and will be much easier to handle) and let them rest for 10 minutes. Serve with the rib dipping sauce.

SPICY PINEAPPLE PORK RIBS

The sauce in this recipe has a real bite... and we loved it!! NOTE: 2 1/2 hrs was not quite enough cooking time for our ribs, so we continued to cook on low for another 4 hours. Keep an eye on your ribs, as cooking time really can vary this much depending on the meat.

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 33

Jerk Marinade
1 large red onion, cut into ¼-in/6-mm slices
¾ cup (180 mL) soy sauce
¾ cup (180 mL) vegetable oil
½ cup (120 mL) apple cider vinegar
½ cup (120 mL) water
1 jalapeño chile, sliced
Habanero Vinegar
½ habanero chile, stemmed and seeded
⅓ cup (80 mL) white wine vinegar
Pineapple Glaze
Two 6 oz. (180-mL) cans pineapple juice
¼ cup (50 g) firmly packed brown sugar
Pineapple Salsa
½ pineapple, diced
1 small red onion, diced
3 small jalapeño chiles, diced
⅓ cup (55 g) diced red bell pepper
⅓ cup (8 g) chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbsp. canola oil
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt
Jerk Spice Rub
2 Tbsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. onion powder
1 Tbsp. ground allspice
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. grated nutmeg
2 tsp. cascabel or ancho chile powder
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Two 2-lb (910 g) racks baby back ribs

Steps:

  • To make the jerk marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the onion, soy sauce, oil, vinegar, water, and jalapeño. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.)
  • To make the habanero vinegar: In a food processor, com¬bine the habanero chile and vinegar and purée until smooth. Pour into a small bowl. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 month.)
  • To make the pineapple glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until sauce is thick and reduced to about one-third, about 15 minutes. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.)
  • To make the pineapple salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple, onion, jalapeños, bell pepper, cilantro, oil, and lime juice. Season with salt. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 8 hours.)
  • To make the jerk spice rub: In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, allspice, salt, nutmeg, chile powder, cinnamon, cayenne, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  • Use a butter knife to pry the membrane off the bone side of the ribs. Once you get a piece of the membrane loose, grab it with a paper towel and pull it toward the other end of the slab to remove it. Rub the Jerk Spice Rub evenly over the ribs. Arrange the ribs in a 15-by-10-in/38-by-25-cm baking pan. Pour the Jerk Marinade over the ribs, turning to coat both sides. Cover baking pan with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Remove ribs from marinade, letting the excess drip off. Transfer the ribs to a baking sheet and allow to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Brush with the Habanero Vinegar.
  • To cook ribs using a charcoal grill: Prepare grill for indirect cooking over medium heat. Place a shallow metal pan filled with water in the center of the grill and arrange the hot coals around it. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the ribs on the grate directly above the water-filled pan, cover the grill, and cook until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add coals as needed to maintain medium heat.
  • To cook ribs using a gas grill: Preheat the grill with all the burners on high. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the ribs on the grate, turn off the burner directly under the ribs, and reduce the other burners to medium heat. Cover the grill and cook until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • After 45 minutes, brush the ribs with some of the Pineapple Glaze, and brush them two or three times before serving. Do not flip the ribs during cooking. When the ribs are done, they will be well browned and the meat will have shrunk back from the ends of the bones. Transfer ribs to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before cutting rack into individual ribs. Serve warm with the Pineapple Salsa.

SPICY PINEAPPLE PORK RIBS



Spicy Pineapple Pork Ribs image

When I was about 8 years old my mom got this recipe from a neighbor lady. Every year for Christmas Eve, my mom would make these, this is my favorite memory of Christmas. To this day I still make these, not only at Christmas but throughout the year. They are now enjoyed by my family and my two grandaughters. Still worth...

Provided by Patricia Jutting

Categories     Ribs

Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 c ketchup
1 canned chipolte pepper in adobe sauce (this is just one pepper out of the can)
15oz crushed pineapple with juice
2 Tbsp prepared mustard
4 Tbsp brown sugar
8 dash(es) tabasco sauce
2 c water
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp liquid smoke flavoring
2 large onions, chopped
3-4 lb pork ribs, country, baby back etc...
2 Tbsp oil

Steps:

  • 1. Combine first 9 ingredients in blender and blend until smooth, set aside.
  • 2. Chop onions and set aside.
  • 3. Heat oil in skillet and brown the ribs until browned on all sides may salt and pepper if desired, or you can brown on the grill. When brown place in large roaster and cover with onions. Pour sauce over the top, cook covered at 350 degrees for 3-5 hours, turning every 30 minutes. (*note the cooking time will vary depending on the cut of ribs you use). Uncover and cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes turning at 15 minutes. I also like to chill these after they are done and put them on the grill the next day to glaze sauce, this works especially good if you are having guests. Enjoy..

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Use pork spareribs or baby back ribs for this recipe. Spareribs are meatier and have more flavor, while baby back ribs are leaner and more tender.
  • Make sure the ribs are well-trimmed: Remove any excess fat or connective tissue from the ribs before cooking. This will help the ribs cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Marinate the ribs overnight: The marinade in this recipe is a key step in infusing the ribs with flavor. Be sure to marinate the ribs for at least 8 hours, or overnight if possible.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to cook pork ribs is low and slow. This will allow the ribs to cook through without drying out. Cook the ribs at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Baste the ribs regularly: While the ribs are cooking, baste them with the marinade or a mixture of pineapple juice and brown sugar. This will help keep the ribs moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

This spicy pineapple pork ribs recipe is a delicious and easy-to-follow dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor. The pineapple and brown sugar give the ribs a slightly sweet and tangy flavor, while the cayenne pepper and chili powder add a bit of heat. Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or corn on the cob.
