Why This Recipe Works

With a thick, mahogany crust and full meaty flavor, all that our grilled bone-in pork rib roast needed was a simple orange salsa recipe to provide a counterpoint to its richness. Flavor-packed ingredients like jalapeño, orange zest, and brown sugar gave us the salsa recipe we were after.

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in small nonreactive bowl.
