Using Apple Juice as a Mop
Q: What is the reason why you put apple juice on the ribs after 3 hours and when you are done? Is there other things you can use instead of apple juice? Does the apple juice flavor get into the ribs?
A: The apple juice just serves as as some good flavor and something to moisten the surface of the meat and keep it from drying out. Technically you could use any other fruit juice, beer, melted butter, vinegar, coke, tea, and even water to do the same thing.
The apple juice does help to add a little sweetness to the meat and since it works so well, everyone tends to use it.
When added to the foil, it serves as an agent to create steam and tenderize the meat as well as add some great flavor in the process.
The ribs do not come out tasting like apples.. the apple juice just adds a little essence to it but it is complimentary to the meat rather than overpowering.

This rib rub sounds really good... I think that this would go very nicely with more than just smoked ribs... perhaps on a smoked loin.
Just think, pork and apples... a match made in heaven, and it will all make sense
