Sweet and Hot and Sooooooo Good!!

Cherry-Chipotle Back Ribs

 4 racks pork back ribs
2 cups cherry or apple woodchips

Rub:
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp black and white pepper blend
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Cherry-Chipotle Sauce:
1 red apple chopped (I use Royal Gala)
1 cup dark cherries (pitted and chopped)
1/4 cup red wine
½ cup brown sugar
1 cup ketchup
2 tsp chipotle hot sauce
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
pinch of kosher salt and black pepper

To make sauce, add apple, cherries, red wine, brown sugar and a pinch
of salt into a sauce pan and simmer for 20 minutes. After mixture has began
to create a syrup, remove from heat and place mixture into a food processor
or a blender. Puree mixture.
Place back into sauce pan and add remaining ingredients. Simmer for another
15-20 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool, and refrigerate.

 Begin your ribs by taking the membrane off of the bone side of the ribs.
Cut each rack into sections of 2-4 ribs per piece. Place ribs into a pot
of boiling water. Boil for 15 minutes.
While ribs are boiling, make your rub. Add all rub ingredients in a bowl
and mix well.
After ribs have boiled for 15 minutes, remove and cover with rub mixture.
Pre-heat grill to 325 degrees, indirect grilling method. Place ribs in a foil baking pan(s).
* Using smaller pans with less ribs in each will make ribs even more tender.
Add 1 cup of the water you used to boil the ribs into each baking pan. Cover with foil.
Leave one corner of foil slightly lifted up.

If using gas grill, prepare a smoke pack using ½ of each wet and dry wood chips,
place on the grill. If using charcoal grill place half of wet wood chips directly on coals.
Once smoke has started place baking pans on the grills cool side. Close the lid.
Cook ribs for 2 hours at 325 degrees indirect heat. Add another smoke pack or
12-16 more coals and wood chips after 1 hour.

 After 2 hours of cooking remove ribs from baking pans, and grill directly over coals or flames.
Begin saucing the ribs. Cook ribs for 10-15 minutes over direct heat, saucing every few minutes.
Remove from heat and serve!
