This glazed barbeque ribs recipe has it all. You start with a rub, smoke slowly for 4 – 6 hours and finish off with a wonderfully powerful mop (or glaze). The rub can be made up really easily and once applied to the rack of ribs it's straight onto the smoker giving you plenty of time to make up the mop for the final phase of the cookout. There's still plenty of time to relax in the late afternoon sun.
As will all ribs recipes, remember to remove the membrane for the back of the ribs and keep the smoking long and slow. I also put a water bath under just to keep everything moist.
The rub quantity is about enough for two racks of ribs and any left over rub can be stored in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
Ingredients For The Rub:-
8 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons garlic salt
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Ingredients For The Glaze:-
60 ml or 4 tablespoons ketchup
60 ml or 4 tablespoons English mustard
75 ml or 5 tablespoons white vinegar
16 tablespoons brown sugar
Method:-
For the rub, simply mix together all the ingredients and then rub all over the ribs. For the glaze, mix everything together in a saucepan and bring to a simmer for about 15 minutes so that the sugar dissolves.
During the last 10 or 15 minutes of cooking, apply the glaze. When done, remove the ribs from the smoker and allow to stand for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
