Smoked Glazed Spare Ribs
Ingredients:
• 2 (3-pound) sides pork spare ribs
• 1 tablespoon Irvine Spices Roasted Garlic Pepper Seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
Directions:
Rinse spare ribs and dry with paper towels. Prepare a rub by combining Roasted Garlic Pepper Seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon pepper and salt in a small bowl and rubbing over entire surface of spare ribs.
Follow manufacturer's instructions for the smoker. General rule of thumb is to maintain a temperature range of 255 to 300 degrees F (indirect heat), and smoke for 1 to 1 1/2 hours per pound of meat (probably about 4 1/2 hours or so for sides of pork spare ribs).
Towards the end of the smoking time, combine the honey and brown sugar in a small bowl and spread on the spare ribs.
Serve family style and enjoy!
