I'm sharing because these are eyes-rolling-back-into-your-head good

[this is supposed to be 4 servings - it isn't, i had 3 1/4 lbs, that is 3 servings - next time i'm going to double the sauce and make 5 lbs]

Maple Glazed Ribs Country Style Ribs

3-4 lbs pork country style ribs (the meaty ones)

1 cup maple syrup (real syrup not aunt jemima)

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1 tablespoon worcestershire (I wasn't really measuring, probably more)

1/2 t salt

2 t dried mustard

1 clove garlic minced

1 small onion, small dice

2 good squirts of that rooster chile sauce (or about 6 shakes tabasco)

place ribs in a large pot* and cover with water, simmer covered for about an hour, drain and place in shallow dish

*the fat bubbles up a bit, i skimmed it, but you definitely want some space between the water line and the top of the pan

in a small pot, just dump in all of the ingredients, bring to a boil, simmer for a few minutes

pour the sauce over the ribs and marinate for 2-3 hours

prepare the grill (i used my gas grill yesterday, a charcoal would be better using indirect heat) medium heat

lift the ribs out of the sauce and pour the sauce back into a saucepan - bring it to a boil and cook for several minutes

transfer ribs to grill, cook for about 20 minutes, turning and basting often, serve remaining sauce on the side

-------------------

other way

preheat oven to 350

ribs on a rack, cover with foil, bake for 1 hour 20 minutes until tender and cooked through

remove ribs from roasting pan, remove rack and drain off fat

proceed w/ the marinade, (not as long (1 hour?) might not even need to marinade) then just bake in the marinade uncovered for 30-40 minutes basting a few times (more if it was in the fridge until hot)
