Ingredients
pork back ribs
4 lbs (cut into serving size pieces)
honey
1/2 cup
packed brown sugar
1/2 cup
soy sauce
3 tablespoons
garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon
ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon
ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon
salt
1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
1
Begin by cutting the pork back ribs into serving-size pieces, and place them in a large resealable plastic bag.
2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, packed brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, ground mustard, and salt until well combined.
3
Pour this marinade over the ribs in the plastic bag. Seal the bag tightly and turn it several times to ensure the ribs are evenly coated with the marinade.
4
Refrigerate the bag for several hours or, preferably, overnight. Remember to turn the bag occasionally to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
5
When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the ribs from the bag and drain them, reserving the marinade.
6
Place the ribs on a rack in a greased shallow baking pan. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
7
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. After this time, drain any excess liquid, and then pour the reserved marinade over the ribs.
8
Remove the foil and return the ribs to the oven, baking uncovered for an additional 45 minutes. Baste the ribs occasionally with the pan juices to keep them moist and flavorful.
9
Once the meat is tender and the glaze has caramelized, remove the ribs from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
