Ingredients

  • 2 kg spare ribs 2 x 1kg ribs
  • BBQ rub

Glaze

  • 400 g tinned peaches
  • 150 ml tinned peach liquid
  • 100 ml bourbon

  • 150 g white cabbage

Slaw Dressing

  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

Ribs

  • Set your BBQ/smoker to 120c and add your favourite wood chunks – I like peach, cherry or apple
  • Remove the membrane from along the back of the spare ribs
  • Add your favourite rub to the ribs
  • Smoke the ribs for 2 hours (spritzing with water every 30 minutes)
  • Remove the ribs from the smoker and wrap in foil adding butter, brown sugar & honey
  • Smoke for a further hour
  • Remove from the foil and glaze with the bourbon peach glaze every 15 minutes and once again before serving

Glaze

  • Blend the peaches with the liquid and place all ingredients into a saucepan
  • Cook on low-medium heat for approx. 5 mins or until the glaze has thickened and coats the back of a spoon
  • Allow to cool

Slaw

  • Whisk all slaw ingredients together and set aside
  • Slice the vegetables thinly and place in a bowl
  • Once ready to serve drizzle in the dressing and serve (I also like to add a little of the glaze to mine at the end too!)

Notes

Tips/Tricks

  • times above are based upon 1kg ribs
  • smoking ribs doesn’t always go to exact times. Some people like a little bite to the ribs and others want them to fall off the bone – these were a little in between
  • the method is known as 2-2-1 which goes for 2 hours smoked, 2 hours wrapped and 1 hour glazed. I went with 1 hour wrapped as the ribs were a little smaller
  • you can choose not to wrap the ribs if you want more bark on the ribs but this typically slows the process down
