Our readers say it best: “EASY and LOVED by all my guests!” You may also cook these ribs on a grill. Set it up for moderate indirect heat, set the ribs away from the heat source, and cook, covered, for the times indicated.

Yield: 1-1/4 cup or 4 servings

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Start to Finish Time: 2 hours

• 1/4 cup maple syrup (preferably Grade B)
• 1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
• 1/4 cup apple-cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 4 pounds pork or beef ribs
• 1 tablespoon salt

Preheat oven to 350° (or see above for grill instructions). In a medium-size bowl, blend maple syrup, mustard, vinegar, and ketchup. Add cayenne if you like. Set aside.

Cut ribs into 4- to 5-inch lengths. Sprinkle lightly with salt and roast 1–1-1/4 hours. Pour off all fat. Baste with sauce and roast another 30 minutes, basting and turning every 5–6 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes. Baste one last time and serve.
