Crispy Maple Spareribs

By CheeseDiva

All you need to make a meal of these is a big green salad — and plenty of napkins.

Ingredients

• 3 pounds lean pork spareribs
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon chili sauce
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Arrange the ribs on a wire rack in a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes.

2. Combine the onion, maple syrup, chili sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste in a small saucepan and bring to a boil; boil for 5 minutes.
3. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Remove the ribs from the rack and arrange in a baking pan; brush them with the sauce. Bake uncovered for 45 to 60 minutes, basting frequently, until the ribs are glazed to a deep mahogany color.

4. Cut between the rib bones with a sharp knife and serve.
