Smoked Mango Jalapeño Spareribs
Smoked Mango Jalapeño Spareribs
If you don’t know by now, I love me some ribs. Here’s another simple recipe using mangos and jalapeños as the base marinade for a rack of spareribs. If you’d like to use another type of fruit, pineapple, oranges, tart apples, or cherries are great substitutes. The ribs should be marinated for at least 1 day; preferably 2 days. They’ll taker 4-5 hours to smoke at 250 degrees for a 4-5lb rack. If using baby backs, they’ll take about 3 hours.
Equipment
- food processor
- gallon sized storage bag
- Electric Smoker
Ingredients
- 1 rack pork spareribs 4-5lbs
Marinade
- 1 mango peeled and diced
- 4 jalapeños
- 1/2 bunch cilantro
- 8 garlic cloves
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 1 knob ginger
- 1 tbsp sea salt
Wood Chips

Instructions
- Purée the marinade ingredients in a food processor.
- Cut the rack of ribs in half. Marinate the spareribs in a gallon sized storage bags for at least one day; 2 is even better.
- Remove the ribs from the storage bag. Allow to rest at room temperature for an hour.
- Preheat your smoker to 250 degrees. Place the ribs on the rack, then in the smoker. Add in the wood chips; replacing with new ones every hour.
- Smoke the ribs for 4-5 hours. They’ll be ready to eat when the bones are exposed on the tips.
