ingredients

For the brine and pork
¹⁄₄ cup kosher salt
¹⁄₄ cup sugar
10 garlic cloves, crushed
2 chipotle peppers en adobo seasoning (smoked jalapeno peppers in a tomato-based sauce)
1 bay leaf
4 cups water
4 lbs pork rib racks, tied between the ribs
For the rub
1 teaspoon adobo seasoning or 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried chipotle powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
For the glaze and sauce
12 ounces currant jelly
³⁄₄ cup brewed coffee
1 chipotle chile in adobo, chopped
1 tablespoon chives, chopped (about 3 to 5 stems)

directions

Combine salt, sugar, garlic, chipotle peppers, bay leaf and water in a large bowl, stirring until salt and sugar are dissolved; place pork in a 2 1/2 gallon resealable plastic bag, add brine, squeeze out as much air as possible, seal and refrigerate at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Remove roast from the brine and pat dry with paper towels; discard brine and plastic bag.
Combine all the ingredients for the rub, then rub into the entire surface of the roast, including both ends and the underside of the ribs; cover roast loosely with aluminum foil.
Prepare the grill for indirect grilling; place a drip pan between the piles of coals and fill it halfway with water.
Place the pork roast, rib side down, over the drip pan.
Cook the roast to an internal temperature of 135 degrees F, about 1 hour and 10 minutes (the temperature inside the grill should remain between 300 and 350 degrees F).
While the roast is cooking, combine the jelly, 1/4 cup brewed coffee, and the chipotle in adobo in a small saucepan, over medium high heat; bring to a boil, whisking until jelly melts, boil 1 minute then remove from heat.
When the roast reaches 135 degrees F, brush with about half of the glaze; continue grilling until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes.
Transfer roast to a cutting board and cover loosely with a clean piece of aluminum foil.
Make a sauce by adding the remaining 1/2 cup of brewed coffee to the remaining glaze in the saucepan; bring to a boil over medium high heat, remove from heat and stir in chives.
Carve out the eye of the loin from the ribs, slice and place on a serving platter.
Cut between ribs and place on platter; pour collected juices over meat.
Serve sauce on the side.

We may live without poetry, music and art;   We may live without conscience and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books, But civilized man cannot live without cooks.   He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving? He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving? He may live without love -- what is passion but pining? But where is the man that can live without dining? -- Owen Meredith     I'm an all-American original, having lived in Hawaii, New York, Texas, South Carolina, and Miami.  I also served 7 years in the US Army.  My husband is from Bogota, Colombia and has also lived in the former Soviet Union.  But now we are both in NY.   Tomasi enjoyes a bath! <a href=http://s845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/?action=view&current=tomas.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/tomas.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a>   Some of my recipes: <object width=480 height=360 data=http://w845.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/12cdcf0a.pbw type=application/x-shockwave-flash> <param name=data value=http://w845.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/12cdcf0a.pbw /> <param name=src value=http://w845.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/12cdcf0a.pbw /> <param name=wmode value=transparent /> </object> <a href=http://photobucket.com/slideshows target=_blank><img src=http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif alt=/ /></a><a href=http://s845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/?action=view?t=12cdcf0a.pbw target=_blank><img src=http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif alt=/ /></a>     I also have the genealogy bug!  I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years.  One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s.  Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s.  So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic.  Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!
