You haven’t truly experienced ribs until you’ve tasted these Cherry Bomb Baby Backs! Tender, fall-off-the-bone perfection, they’re the star of any backyard BBQ, tailgate, or Sunday dinner. Try these once, and regular ribs just won’t cut it. Made with a homemade rub and sticky-sweet cherry glaze, they’re truly something special. 

Made with our Homemade Cherry BBQ Rub & Homemade Cherry BBQ Glaze

Ingredients

Tools

Directions

  • Prepare the baby back ribs by removing the membrane and trimming any excess fat or silverskin. Pat both sides dry with a paper towel.
  • Apply a thin layer of yellow mustard to both sides. Generously coat with the Smoked Cherry Pepper BBQ Rub.
  • Preheat the Pit Boss to 250°F using Cherry Blend pellets.
  • Place ribs meat-side up directly on the grates. Smoke for 1.5 hours, spritzing with apple juice every 45 minutes.
  • Transfer ribs to a small foil pan, pour in 1/3–1/2 cup of the cherry–chipotle glaze and a few slabs of butter, and cover tightly with foil or a lid, and return to the smoker for 1 hour to braise.
  • Remove cover, brush ribs generously with more glaze, and smoke uncovered for the final 30 minutes until glaze sets and ribs reach ~198–203°F internal temp.
  • Rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
