August 20 - Finger Lickin' Spare Ribs

One night, I was watching a show on where to find the best tasting, melt in your mouth, BBQ ribs in the U.S. It was interesting to watch how somebody's BBQ recipe could be nominated as one of the best in town. The common technique is the long, slow cooking that is needed to make the ribs tender, juicy and heavenly.


Ingredients (I tried my friend's recipe for this one, less the salt)
1 cup of soy sauce
1 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp of minced garlic
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp ground pepper
2 lbs spare ribs (cut into pieces)
2 medium cans of Bush maple syrup flavored baked beans
3 ears of white sweet corn



Preparation

Mix the first 6 ingredients together.
Marinate the spare ribs overnight.


Cooking Time (3 hours)

Set the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the ribs in a roasting pan, in a single layer. Pour the marinade and cover the pan.
Bake for 3 hours.
In the last hour, bake the beans and the corn, too.
When serving, put 1/2 tsp of butter on the corn.

Sept 1, 2009 - We had our one week holiday in Split Rock Resort in Poconos, Pennsylvania. We were able to cook our BBQ (baby back) ribs using charcoal grill. We served it with grilled corn and vegetables. Yummy!
