Sweet & Sticky Ribs

Category: Pork

1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 rack pork spareribs (about 3 lbs)

Mix molasses and vinegar. Pour 1/4 cup into a 2-gallon food bag. Add ribs; turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.
Heat oven to 325 degrees. You'll need a foil-lines roasting pan with a rack.
Place ribs on rack (discard bag). Sprinkle with 1 tsp each salt and pepper. Cover with foil; bake 1/1/2 hours. Meanwhile, in saucepan, simmer remaining molasses mixture 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Brush ribs with mixture; bake, uncovered, 1 to 1 1/2 hours until tender. Cut to separate individual ribs; drizzle with remaining molasses mixture.
(for a little heat, add some hot sauce)

Serves 4.
