Maple Soy Ribs

These delicious ribs are so easy to put together and they taste great! The subtle hint of the ground clove works very well with the other ingredients. I make these often for pot-luck dinners and they are always a hit. These are boiled first in ginger ale, then you can either place them under the broiler to crisp them or you can grill them, both methods work well.

INGREDIENTS

2 racks pork ribs (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)

1 (355 ml) can ginger ale

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 head garlic

1/4 cup maple syrup

2 tablespoons GF soy sauce

1 tablespoon GF oyster sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Pinch ground cloves

DIRECTIONS

Peel the garlic and crush the cloves; toss them into a pot.

Cut the ribs into individual portions and add to the pot.

Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the ribs and pour the can of ginger ale in the pot; bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes or until there is about 1/4" of liquid left in the pan.

Mix the remaining ingredients together in a large bowl and set aside.

Remove the ribs from the pot, reserving the liquid and broil or grill them for a couple of minutes per side or until you have a nice golden brown crust.

Pour the reserved liquid from the pot into the maple mixture and toss with the ribs making sure they are well coated.

Enjoy!
