Smoked Pork Rib Roast wth Cherry Sauce

This Smoked Pork Rib Roast with Cherry Sauce is a celebration on to its own!! It is a special weekend meal at anytime of the year. Ken loves to smoke meats and more in the winter months just as much in the summer months.

Pork really lends itself to a sweet fruit like a cherry. We used sour cherries for this recipe but don’t let that fool you as they are normally packed in a light syrup which makes them sweet.

The original recipe was from the Food Network by Matt Dunigan from Road Grill. Ken tweeked up a few things along the way but wanted to stay close to this recipe as it is very good.

Look at how amazing that looks! Deliciously crusted and perfectly succulent still. The outside is rubbed with rosemary, garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper and olive oil.

And inside it is moist and tender, perfectly done showing a little pink. The roast was smoked to 155-160F in a 225F smoker and done for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. 

Thermapen

To check the temperature of the roast we use our quick read thermometer from Thermoworks, called the Thermapen. It gives you an accurate reading everytime!

The smoker does most of the work for you as it cooks it low and slow giving the finished product an amazing outcome. Another one of our very popular smoker recipes is the Smoked Rack of Lamb that Ken has done many times!!

The cherry sauce is made with red wine, red onion, thyme, ginger, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper and of course sour cherries. This combination of ingredients makes a delicious sauce that goes perfectly with the pork roast.

If you don’t see a roast like this available at the grocery store just ask the butcher to make you one. They have always obliged me and made one is short order too.

Having the bone in a roast really lends itself to more flavor and keeping it juicy I find.

    I love a good pork roast. The thing I love about pork is how well it pairs with all sorts of fruit. I can’t wait to give this recipe a try!
