Step one: Rub the ribs with wet mustard and a blend of Southwestern spices which include chile de arbol, aji amarillo, NM Red, cayenne, cumin, coriander, garlic, oregano, onion, salt and black pepper and pop them in the fridge overnight.

Onto the smoker with 2 chunks of apple



Step two: Make the jam



The ingredients are 15 NM hatch chiles that are roasted, peeled and then chopped, 2 lemons quartered and half a cup of apple cider vinegar.



Let that simmer for 30 minutes, remove the lemons and squeeze out all the remaining juice and add 3 cups of sugar (photo not shown - blast you 10 photo rule!)



Step three: Make some beans with some bacon ends, jalapenos, red onion, bell pepper and brown sugar



before they go on the smoker, coat the ribs with jam and let them go uncovered for another hour - Total rib cooking time was about 6 hours until the bend test says they are done. I didn't use any foil. Oh and the ribs were hit with apple cider vinegar at about the 4 hour mark (photo not shown!)



Ribs are off and wrapped and put in a cooler and the beans go onto the smoker



Step four: Time to make the jalapeno cheddar corn bread



and onto the smoker - I raised the temp to about 350 to cook the beans and corn bread. the beans are down there somewhere hiding and getting happy



And finished. The Chile jam gave these ribs a nice sweet heat and the ribs were cooked perfectly. This was one of my best rib cooks ever. The beans were smokey, sweet and delicious and the corn bread was just right.



thanks for looking!

Wow Chris!
Everything and I mean everything looks great!
All the chiles and peppers on the ribs makes my mouth water. :)
 
Terrific, terrific looking ribs and sides!!!! I'm gonna try that jam recipe too, thanks for sharing that. Did I say how terrific this cook looks yet?
 
I love Hatch chiles and I love ribs, so I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept of the combination of the two. Those ribs look mind-blowingly good. For those of us who have seen the movie This is Spinal Tap, Chris has "gone to eleven" with this cook.
 
Amazing ribs Chris! I've been hatching a rib recipe in my head all week. Somewhat similar to yours, but not too similar... Hopefully I'll get it made and posted before the deadline. Cheers and good luck.
