Sweet peach preserves and bourbon glaze coat tender smoked pork belly for sticky, caramelized burnt ends packed with bold BBQ flavor.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 24 Burnt Ends 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Pork Belly

  • 3 pounds skinless pork belly
  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 4 tbsp BBQ rub
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce

Peach Bourbon Glaze

  • 1 cup peach preserves
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 oz bourbon
  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Take the slab of pork belly and cut it with a sharp knife into 2‑inch thick strips.
  2. Cut each strip into 2‑inch cubes, then place them in a foil pan.
  3. Use yellow mustard as a binder, then season the pork belly on all sides with your favorite BBQ rub.
  4. Place the pork belly on a wire rack, then put it on the smoker at 250°F for 3 hours. Lightly spritz the pork belly with Dr Pepper every 30 minutes.
  5. In a saucepan, add all of the ingredients for the Peach Bourbon Glaze. Keep stirring every 30 seconds until the sauce comes to a low boil, then remove from heat.
  6. Remove the pork belly from the smoker once the bark has set, then place it in a foil pan. Pour the Peach Bourbon Glaze over the pork belly and add a light drizzle of BBQ sauce. Place foil over the top and secure the edges, wrapping it tightly around the foil pan.
  7. Place the pork back on the smoker for another hour. Next, uncover the pork for the last 15 minutes to help the sauce tack up.
  8. Once the pork belly reaches an internal temperature of 200°F, remove it from the smoker.
  9. Let the pork cool for 5–10 minutes, then serve warm and enjoy.
