SWEET SMOKED PORK RIBS
A sweet recipe for smoked pork ribs. I usually use baby back ribs but have had great success with spare ribs as well.

Steps:
- Stir salt, white sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, black pepper, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, and cumin together in a small bowl to make the dry rub. Rub the spice mixture into the baby back ribs on all sides. Wrap the ribs well with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking.
- Unwrap baby back ribs and place onto the wire racks of the smoker in a single layer.
- Place the racks into a smoker, fill the smoker pan with apple, grape, pear, or cherry chips, and bring the smoker to 270 degrees F (130 degrees C). Smoke for 1 hour.
- Stir together the apple juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and the barbeque sauce. Brush the ribs with the sauce every 30 to 45 minutes after the first hour. Cook the ribs in the smoker until the meat is no longer pink and begins to "shrink" back from the bones, 3 to 4 hours. Brush the sauce onto the ribs one last time 30 minutes before the ribs are ready to be taken out of the smoker.
- Once the ribs are done, wrap them tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest 10 to 15 minutes. This will allow the juices to reabsorb into the meat and make the ribs moist.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or pork butt are good choices for this recipe as they are well-marbled and become tender when slow-cooked.
- Brown the pork before braising: Browning the pork adds flavor and color to the dish. Be sure to brown the pork in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan and end up steaming the meat instead of browning it.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what will flavor the pork, so be sure to use a flavorful liquid such as chicken broth, beef broth or even apple juice.
- Add aromatics to the braising liquid: Aromatics such as garlic, onion, carrots and celery will add flavor to the braising liquid and the pork.
- Cook the pork until it is fall-apart tender: The pork should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender, which will take about 2-3 hours on low heat in a slow cooker or Dutch oven.
- Serve the pork with rice or noodles: This dish is traditionally served with rice or noodles, but it can also be served with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Sweet and sour pork is a classic dish that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish for a party, sweet and sour pork is a great option. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this delicious dish at home.
