Sweet and Spicy Orange Glazed Barbecued Pork Ribs

June 5, 2010 By Kristi Rimkus 30 Comments

What do you do when you no longer have a kitchen? Barbecue pork ribs of course!

Orange Glazed Pork Ribs

This is week three of our remodel, and needless to say, blogging about food has become an interesting challenge. I have to admit it’s starting to wear me out – but as with all things that take time, the end result will be worth it.

Last night grilling was the only option, so I traipsed out to the garage where the refrigerator currently resides and took out what was left of the produce – 2 large sweet potatoes. I found a few really great looking pork ribs to go with my sweet potatoes and trudged back to the non-existent kitchen to put it all together.

Naturally I had to make my own barbecue sauce, or this would make for a very boring blog post, so I scrounged up a few sauce ingredients and headed off to the grill.

My pork ribs had a delightful caramelized color and sticky sweetness. They were perfect with the sweet potato planks. Not a bad effort for someone without a kitchen.

Happy grilling!

What’s good for me in this dish?

Pork trimmed of visible fat can be considered a lean meat. Specifically boneless pork chops, or tenderloin. Pork is a good source of Vitamin C, Niacin, Phosphorus and Zinc, and a very good source of Protein, Vitamin B12, Iron and Selenium. Pork is higher in cholesterol.

    Mmmm. Those look really good. I've been on a pork kick the past few days myself. We just finished our remodel right before Christmas and it was a definite pain when it was happening but oh so worth it once it was done! I hope you show before and after shots. I'm love to see your finished product!Hope you're having a great weekend.

      I sliced them lengthwise in 1/4" pieces and sprayed with olive oil cooking spray and sprinkled with a little salt and pepper. I adore sweet potatoes!

    That's a very interesting recipe, my new friend! Oranges and sweet potatoes would make a good combination. Is the taste more on the sweeter side, since you used honey, orange marmalade, and also sweet potatoes? I loved this recipe!
