Herb Rubbed Pork Spareribs With Honey Lemon Glaze Recipes

SMOKED GLAZED SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• 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.

HONEY GARLIC RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Slice the ribs into individual pieces. In a large bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and brown sugar. Stir until honey and sugar are completely dissolved, then stir in the baking soda. The mixture will begin to foam. Transfer ribs to the bowl, and turn to coat.
• Cover a cookie sheet with foil, and arrange the ribs meat side up on the sheet. Pour excess sauce over all, and sprinkle with the garlic salt.
• Bake for 1 hour, turning every 20 minutes.

ROASTED HONEY-GLAZED SPARERIBS
