Candied Pork Back Ribs Recipe
We had a real craving for ribs recently and I just had to act on it. So we made these Candied Pork Back Ribs to fill that void. Usually we make Maple Bacon Ribs, but I wanted to go for something a little different this time round, something special for the first ribs of the season. So I seasoned, smoked, melted and basted my way into these amazing ribs.

2 racks
pork back ribs
1 cup
brown sugar
2 tbsp.
Bone Dust BBQ Seasoning
1 tbsp.
garlic powder
2 tsp.
freshly ground black pepper
1⁄4 cup
brown sugar
1 cup
honey
Sauce
3/4 cup
Cattle BoyZ Chipotle Maple Bacon BBQ Sauce
1/4 cup
pure maple syrup
3 tbsp.
soy sauce
1 clove
garlic, grated
salt and pepper to taste
- Start by removing the silver skin from the back of your ribs, then cutting each of the racks in half.
- In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, Bone Dust, garlic powder and pepper. Generously rub the ribs on all sides with the seasoning mixture. Place them into a non-reactive dish, or onto a baking tray, and into the fridge to marinate for 24 hours.
- Soak your favorite wood chips, I recommend something sweet like maple, cherry or apple, for at least 30 minutes before starting to smoke the ribs. Preheat your charcoal smoker, or grill to 200 to 220°F. Fill the smoker tube with wood chips, or throw them directly onto the charcoal.
- Smoke the ribs for 1.5 hours, bone side down.
- Remove the ribs from the grill and lay them on a bed of tin foil. Dust the tops with brown sugar and honey, wrap them tightly and return them to the grill for another hour.
- While waiting for the ribs to candify, make the sauce by combining the BBQ sauce, maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- After the hour in the foil is up, unwrap the ribs and glaze them every 10 minutes with the sauce, until it is gone and the ribs are shiny and sticky.
- Slice between every rib, and serve with plenty of wet wipes. Some potato salad, veggies, and dip wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Really this is a Ted Reader signature seasoning. If you’re really lucky and see him live at a show like the Cottage Life show, then you can go to his booth and buy some. BUT when you run out and need more, here is the recipe to make it yourself.
Smoked Honey is great for adding that smoky flavor to barbecue sauce and glazing hams or ribs. Smoked honey is far better than using, *shudder*, liquid smoke to create that lovely smoky taste you want.
