Ingredients

  • 2 4-5 pound pork rib roasts
  • 12 oz pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons granulated garlic
  • 1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary

Instructions

  • Remove pork roasts from refrigerator about an hour before cooking.
  • Place ribs on a baking sheet with ribs facing each other. Pull roasts together, crossing the ribs.
  • Tie the ribs together of the two roasts together or use two long skewers stuck through the middle of the roasts to hold them together. 
  • Prepare glaze by adding maple syrup, to a small pan with garlic, pepper, smoked paprika, kosher salt and rosemary.
  • Whisk together and cook over medium- high heat. Bring mixture to a boil for 3-5 minutes, whisking often.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • Cut 1/2 inch slits in tops of roast through the meaty part.
  • Brush glaze over all sides of roast.
  • Prepare grill or oven to 300°. 
  • For the grill: Place over indirect heat and close the lid. Cook for 1 hour and brush with remaining maple glaze. Continue cooking about 1 1/2 hours or until internal temperature reaches 145° for medium and 155° for well done. 
  • Pecan, hickory or oak will add a delicious smoke flavor to your pork.
  • For the oven: Bake uncovered for 1 hour. Brush with maple glaze. Continue to cook 1 1/2 hours or until internal temperature reaches 145° for medium - 155° for well done.
