Ingredients
1/4 cup maple syrup (preferably Grade A)
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

  2. In a bowl, combine maple syrup, mustard, vinegar, and ketchup, and cayenne (if using). 
  3. 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 for another 30 minutes, basting and turning every 5 to 6 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes. Baste one last time and serve.

Is the old Farmers Almanac an actual book or just something that you would release one recipe at a time?

Yes, The Old Farmer’s Almanac is a book that is published every year. It’s North America’s most popular periodical and oldest almanac, having been continuously published since 1792 when George Washington was president!  Today, we have both the original print as well as an online edition.  We publish annually in August/September. You can find the Almanac in stores where magazines and books are sold and also learn more online here: www.Almanac.com/store . We also have wonderful Almanac cookbooks which you can find here. Hope this answers your question (and more!).
