Agave or Maple Glazed Ribs

Here’s a recipe I modified today to have for a late lunch.  I used agave and I found that it brought out the subtle flavors in the pork.

Ingredients

  • 4lbs Pork Ribs (I prefer boneless)
  • 1/2 cup agave or maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons crushed garlic
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 TBS olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • salt & pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line baking dish with foil
  2. Season ribs with salt & pepper (if you like – I’m not a big user of salt so I don’t bother with this step)
  3. Combine syrup, garlic, ginger, olive oil and lemon juice in bowl and whisk
  4. Spoon about a third of the mixture over ribs to coat.  Cover ribs with foil and bake 30 minutes
  5. Uncover, turn ribs over, and spoon more glaze on top.  Bake another 15-25 minutes until meat is tender and glaze is dark.

Serve with applesauce for a tasty meal.  Makes plenty of leftovers too.
