• 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.

• About 10 minutes before serving, remove ribs from slow cooker; place on serving platter and cover to keep warm.
• In 2 cup microwave safe measuring cup, combine all sauce ingredients; mix well.
• Stir in 3/4 cup juices from slow cooker; discard remaining juices.
• Microwave sauce on high for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until mixture boils and thickens, stirring once halfway through cooking.
• Pour sauce over ribs. To make them a bit sticky, I do it one of two ways depending on time.
