Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.

  2. 2

    Smoke the Ribs

    Place the seasoned ribs in the smoker and let them smoke for about 3 hours, or until they are tender.

  3. 3

    Make the Apricot Glaze

    In a saucepan, combine the apricot preserves, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and mustard. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

  4. 4

    Glaze the Ribs

    After 3 hours, brush the apricot glaze generously over the ribs. Continue to smoke for an additional 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the ribs from the smoker, let them rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve with remaining glaze if desired.
