Honey Garlic Spareribs

One of my greatest finds in cookbooks is Norma Chikiamco's The Recipes I Love. The recipes are easy to do and came out really yummy. I became a fan of Ms. Chikiamco thru her articles in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. She writes about her kitchen tested recipes and that made me want to grab a copy of her cookbook. Last Christmas, I gave a copy of this cookbook to my best friend and she has great raves about it.

Here's one of my favorite recipe in The Recipes I Love:

Honey Garlic Spareribs

1-1/2 kilo pork spareribs
water for boiling
1 head garlic, crushed
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 Tbsp white vinegar

In a large stockpot, boil spareribs in enough water to cover until almost tender, about 45 minutes. Remove spareribs from water and arrange in a baking dish.

Combine garlic, pepper, honey, soy sauce and vinegar in a mixing bowl and blend until smooth. Pour over spareribs, making sure to coat meat with the sauce. Cover baking dish with foil. (I like to leave the ribs with this marinade for hours in the ref.)

Preheat oven to 180c for about 15 minutes. Bake ribs (covered) for 15 minutes. Pull out foil and bake for another 10 minutes. Serve ribs with sauce.
