Southern-Style Pork Ribs

Recipe adapted from Tabasco-brand pepper sauce and distributed by Scripps Howard News Service.

Ingredients:

4 lbs. pork spareribs
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup orange juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbs. Tabasco-brand pepper sauce
1/2 tsp. salt

Preparation:

Heat spareribs and enough water to cover to boiling in a 5-quart saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer one hour or until ribs are fork-tender. Drain.

Meanwhile, heat honey, ketchup, vinegar, orange juice, garlic, pepper sauce and salt to boiling in a 1-quart saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, five minutes or until mixture thickens.

Preheat grill to medium or preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place ribs on rack in grill or broiler pan. Brush ribs with honey mixture. Cook 20 minutes or until brown and heated through, brushing occasionally with chutney mixture and turning once.

Yield: 4 servings
