Smoked Pork Ribs

Hoosier Hill Farm Prague Powder No. 1 is also referred to as Tinted Cure or Insta Cure. It is an essential food preservative used for curing meats that require a wet curing process. This includes a variety of short cure preparations like sausage, corned beef, country ham, bacon, and a variety of fish. In addition, it can be used when making jerky or smoking meats. Made from a combination of table salt and sodium nitrite, curing salt prevents bacteria growth and food poisoning while maintaining your meat's flavor and appearance. Each container of Prague Powder holds enough to cure 100 pounds of meat.

How to use Prague Powder: To cure meat or fish safely within food safety guidelines, it's important to use the proper amount of Prague Powder. We recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh both your meat and your curing salt for the most accurate ratio.

Use 1 ounce (equivalent to 6 teaspoons, or 2 tablespoons) of Prague Powder for 25 pounds of meat, or 1 level teaspoon of cure for 5 pounds of meat. Mix curing salt with cold water to dissolve, or add it to your marinade or brine and mix well.

Storage: For maximum shelf life, store in a cool, dry place. We do not recommend refrigerating or freezing curing salt.

Ingredients

Directions

Step one: To prepare the ribs, arrange them on a baking sheet or cutting board and remove the thin membrane from the back of each rack. Cut the rack in half, between the middle bones, and set aside.

Step two: In a large bowl, whisk together Prague Powder No. 1, salt, honey, and hot water until everything is dissolved. Whisk in the cold water, cloves, bay leaves, peppercorns and allspice until well combined. Set aside and allow to reach room temperature prior to using.

Step three: Add prepared ribs and brine to a large ziplock bag, making sure to squeeze all of the air out prior to sealing. Place into a roasting pan and allow to rest in the fridge for 24 hours, making sure to turn the meat every 12 hours.

Step four: Drain ribs and pat them dry with paper towels. Arrange onto a wire rack and allow to dry in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Step five: Preheat your smoker to 250 degrees, using your choice of wood. Place ribs bone side down, directly onto the smoker rack. Smoke for 4 to 5 hours or until an internal temperature of 200 F is reached. Enjoy!
