YUM - Part Deux
Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs
4 lb. country-style boneless pork spare ribs
Granulated garlic and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ cups of Syrah
36 oz. honey-based BBQ sauce
1 can pineapple chunks (or 6 oz. fresh) – drained
1 large onion, sliced in strips
1 green pepper, sliced in strips
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Rub the ribs with the granulated garlic and pepper to taste. Bake for 45 minutes. Drain the grease and liquid from the ribs.
2. Mix the remaining ingredients well in a large bowl and pour over the drained ribs. Continue to bake for another 40 minutes.
3. Serve over hot rice and enjoy!
Some thoughts from Marc and Jill after we made this:
- Loved it. Flavors were great. It made Marc’s top 5, as he mentioned in that blog post.
- I couldn’t find a honey-based BBQ sauce, so I used a maple-based one. See 1st bullet. Yum.
- 36 oz. was a lot of sauce – we think you could probably get away with 24 oz. of sauce, but for those of you who want to go by the letter of the law, 36 oz. is good.
- If you don’t have a Syrah, I’m sure any red wine will do.
