Categories     HarperCollins     HarperCollins     Dinner     Pork     Pork Rib     Maple Syrup     Bourbon     Cinnamon     Vinegar     Bake     Roast

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the ribs:
2 cups (500ml) malt vinegar
2 quarts (2 liters) water
6 bay leaves
3 sticks cinnamon
1/2 cup (90g) brown sugar
1/4 cup (75g) rock salt
1 brown onion, quartered
2 kg (about 4 1/2 pounds) American-style pork ribs
For the maple-bourbon glaze:
1 cup (250ml) bourbon or whiskey
1/2 cup (125ml) maple syrup
1/2 cup (125ml) malt vinegar
1/4 cup (60ml) Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon sea salt flakes

Steps:

  • For the ribs:
  • Place the vinegar, water, bay leaves, cinnamon, sugar, rock salt and onion in a large saucepan over high heat. Stir to combine and bring to the boil.
  • Add the ribs, reduce the heat to medium and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the pork is tender.
  • For the glaze:
  • Place the bourbon, maple syrup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika and salt flakes in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until slightly reduced. Set aside.
  • To finish:
  • Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
  • Remove the ribs from the cooking liquid and place, meat-side down, in a large deep-sided ovenproof dish. Top with the glaze and roast for 15 minutes.
  • Turn the ribs over, baste with the glaze and roast for a further 15 minutes or until the pork is tender and the glaze is reduced. Brush with any remaining glaze and slice to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Look for meaty ribs with good marbling. Avoid ribs that are too fatty or have a lot of bone.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat. Cut the ribs into individual pieces if desired.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to tenderize the ribs and infuse them with flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as orange juice or vinegar, to help break down the connective tissue in the ribs.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: The best way to cook ribs is to cook them slowly and low over indirect heat. This will help to render the fat and make the ribs fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Baste the ribs regularly: Basting the ribs with the marinade or a barbecue sauce will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs.

Conclusion:

Orange maple pork ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your ribs turn out perfectly every time. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
