Apply the seasoning rub generously and evenly over all sides of the pork spareribs. Save any excess rub for future culinary adventures.

In a large roasting pan, add about one inch of apple juice, or water if preferred. Wrap the ribs securely in foil with the seam facing up. Place the foil-wrapped ribs into the roasting pan.

To finish the ribs using the barbecue/grilling method: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Brush the grill grate with vegetable oil. Place the ribs on the grill, basting occasionally with more sauce. Turn the ribs as needed. Cook until the sauce caramelizes and the edges are lightly charred without overcooking, for about 15 minutes.
