This Week's Smoke · Mama T's Pick

Mama T's Sunday Smoke: Perfect Pork Ribs

Well hello there, sugar! The air is turning crisp here in Oklahoma, and there isn't a better time to get that smoker going and fill the backyard with that sweet, hickory-scented goodness. Let's slow down, enjoy the cool breeze, and fix up something truly special for the supper table this week.

Mama T's Secret Ingredient

Apricot preserves

I whisk a couple spoonfuls of apricot preserves into my finishing glaze to give the ribs a beautiful, sticky sheen and a touch of sweetness that balances the smoke just right.

Pair it with: Creamy potato salad with plenty of fresh chives

Mama T's tip: Always remember to pull that thin membrane off the back of the ribs before seasoning; it makes all the difference in getting that meat tender enough to fall right off the bone.
