  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup chile sauce
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup soy sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Cut spareribs into serving size portions; wrap in double thickness of foil.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 ½ hours. Unwrap and drain drippings.
  4. (I usually freeze drippings to use later in soups.) Place ribs in a large roasting pan.
  5. Mix brown sugar, chile sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, rum, garlic, mustard, and pepper together in a bowl. Coat ribs with sauce and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight

  7. Cook ribs on the preheated grill for 30 minutes, basting with marinade.
