Cranberry Orange Glazed Kansas City Spare Ribs Recipes

CRANBERRY-ORANGE GLAZED TURKEY

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rinse the turkey pieces and pat very dry with paper towels. Brush the turkey all over with the oil, and then sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Arrange the turkey pieces, skin-side up, on a baking sheet with the thick end of breasts and thighs at the corners and the drumsticks in the center. Roast for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
• Remove the turkey from the oven and brush with the Cranberry-Orange Glaze. Pour the broth onto the baking sheet to prevent the drippings from burning and roast the turkey 20 more minutes, covering loosely with foil if browning too quickly, until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F to 170 degrees F in the thickest part of the thigh (do not let the thermometer touch the bone).
• Transfer the turkey to a platter. Brush generously with more glaze and let rest 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, scrape all the pan juices and browned bits from the baking sheet into a large measuring cup. Spoon off and discard the fat that rises to the surface. In a heavy, medium saucepan, heat the degreased pan juices over medium-high heat. Whisk 2 to 3 tablespoonfuls of the glaze into the pan juices (or more if desired) to make the gravy and bring to a simmer for the flavors to blend.
• Slice the turkey and arrange on the platter. Garnish with the herb sprigs, oranges wedges and cranberries. Serve the turkey with the gravy.
• In a small saucepan, bring the juices, marmalade and rosemary to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the glaze thickens enough to coat a spoon, whisking often, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the butter, and then season the glaze with the salt and pepper.

SMOKED GLAZED SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Rinse spare ribs and dry with paper towels. Prepare a rub by combining Roasted Garlic Pepper Seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon pepper, and salt in a small bowl and rubbing over entire surface of spare ribs. Follow manufacturer's instructions for the smoker. General rule of thumb is to maintain a temperature range of 255 to 300 degrees F (indirect heat), and smoke for 1 to 1 1/2 hours per pound of meat (probably about 4 1/2 hours or so for sides of pork spare ribs). Towards the end of the smoking time, combine the honey and brown sugar in a small bowl and spread on the spare ribs.
• Serve family style.

ROBERT RIBS

Steps:

• Prepare a smoker to high heat, 450 degrees F. To prepare the ribs, remove the silver skin from the back or under rib side. Mix the soy and Worcestershire sauces together. Then on a baking sheet or pan, mop on the basting liquid and sprinkle with the Rib Rub. After basting and seasoning, place the ribs on the rack of the smoker and cook for 1 hour. Mop or baste twice during cooking. Once the ribs have cooked for 1 hour, glaze with BBQ Sauce and finish for a final 10 minutes to allow the sauce to glaze the ribs. Serve and enjoy. Cook's Note: Ribs may require additional cooking time due to size and tenderness.
• With a wooden spoon, blend the brown sugar, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, salt, dry mustard, black pepper, seafood seasoning and ginger powder until mixed. Then bag until usage.
• In a bowl, whisk together the ketchup, sugar, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne and salt in a saucepan over low heat. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes to blend flavors. Remove from the heat and hold until using.
