Cranberry juice

[Wingnut00]

Hey everybody. I rarely say much but today I have a question. I got me a set of baby backs on the 26” Weber and swore I had some pineapple juice but after digging I realize I don’t. I do have cranberry juice and was curious if anybody has ever tried spritzing ribs with cranberry juice. I’m gonna try it since that’s my option. B&B charcoal with cherry and peach chunks for the smoke. What do you folks bet, gonna be good or not?

Bet it will make them a lovely red color. Never tried spritzing ribs. Please take pictures and let us know how it went.

That and cherry wood should give you a beautiful color.

You could always cut the cranberry juice with water.

Appreciate everyone replying! They have about twenty to thirty minutes to go and I’ll get a couple pictures on here. I just pulled em out of the foil a bit ago and they look delicious!

Might add a little apple cider vinegar if you have it...

Ok! First off, I ain’t good with pictures like all of you folks so take it easy on me. Second, these ribs were probably the best I’ve cooked. They didn’t have a smoke ring to speak of but the flavors were ridiculous!
The cranberry juice did in fact give them a beautiful color but I don’t think it helped or hurt the flavor. Simply helped keep them moist. I will without a doubt do ribs again like these and will be using cranberry juice!

Nice job on the ribs.
I'm surprised you didn't get flavor from the cranberry juice. I love the flavor of cranberry with pork.

I use Cranberry juice quite a bit with pork and poultry. Actually what I really like to use is Ocean Spray's 100% Cranberry/BlackBerry as a base for brines and spritzing.

Btw the ribs look great.
