Yield 10 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

4-5 pounds, baby back ribs
4 cloves, garlic - chopped (or to taste)
4 teaspoons, dry mustard
1/2 cup, Sherry
1/4 cup, soy sauce
2 cups, apricot jam
1 teaspoon, ground cloves
1 teaspoon, fennel seed
1 teaspoon, anise seed
1 teaspoon, ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Rinse ribs under cold water, and pat dry with paper towels. Rub with chopped garlic on both sides. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Blend together all remaining ingredients to make marinade/sauce. Set aside about 1 cup of the sauce. Coat ribs thoroughly with the remaining sauce. Place ribs in a roasting pan (place them so that air can circulate around the racks of ribs as much as possible for even cooking), cover the roasting pan with lid or foil, and cook the ribs in the preheated oven for 45 minutes (about 1 hour for regular pork spareribs). Remove the pan from the oven, and allow to stand (still covered) for about 45 minutes. May be made ahead to this point - if pre-cooked ribs will stand for longer than 2 hours, refrigerate the ribs; then remove the ribs from the refrigerator, and allow them to return to room temperature (allow to stand about 45 minutes) before grilling. Prepare barbeque grill. Over medium-hot heat, grill the ribs, coating generously with reserved sauce, until they are hot through and a good glaze has formed on their surfaces. Allow the racks of ribs to "coast" (stand) for about 15 minutes - if you can stand to wait - before cutting them into individual ribs for serving.
