Coming at you with a BBQ classic, but with a spicy twist! We are so excited to share our latest recipe with you all - the glorious pork belly burnt ends with a delectable topping of jalapeno and honey glaze. Much like our sweeter version of this backyard favorite, this edition comes at things with a more savory and slightly spicy flavorful approach. We hope you enjoy!
Ingredients:
Pork Belly and rubs
Pork belly (uncut or strips)
1 Tbsp - Coarse Kosher Salt
1 Tbsp - 16 Mesh Black Pepper
Jalapeno Honey Glaze
2 Tbsp - Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 - cup Honey
1/2 stick unsalted butter
2-3 jalapenos
2-4 cloves of garlic
Prep and Initial Steps:
Cut the pork belly into strips and into cubes roughly 1 1/2 cubic inches
Mix 1 Tbsp salt and 1 Tbsp pepper in a bowl
Add pork belly cubes into a bowl or on cooking sheet and sprinkle seasoning on while mixing around to get full coverage and to your liking.
Let the seasoning adhere for about 15 minutes
Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees
Place the cubes on a rack, fat side up with a little space between each cube for the smoke to hit all sides.
Add jalapenos to smoker for 45 minutes to 1 hour and pull off.
When smoker is up to temperature, add rack of pork belly cubes to smoker. (Feel free to add a water pan to help keep the meat hydrated.)
Let them smoke for about 3 hours
Once they are hitting about 185 degrees of internal temperature, go ahead and get your glaze going
If you want low spiciness, cut jalapenos in half and scoop out insides and then dice up.
Mince the garlic.
Add all glaze ingredients, diced jalapenos, and minced garlic to saucepan on medium and let it simmer for several minutes and then turn off to let cool.
Check your pork belly burnt ends and pull them when you see them hitting about 195 degrees internal temperature.
Dump them into an aluminum dish, pour on the glaze, mix them up until they're all covered.
Then cover the dish with foil and add back to smoker for 1 hour.
Take them off of the smoker and let rest for 1/2 hour.
Remove tray and uncover and you're ready to go! Be careful, because they will be hot!
