Asian Spare Ribs

Adapted from a recipe given to me by a friend

So, I get bored of regular bbq ribs.  Rather, my favorite is either this recipe or the polynesian ribs that I make.  I think you could substitute other kinds of preserves if you don't have apricot on hand, such as peach.  Just make sure to cook these all day so that they are fall-off-the-bone tender!

Ingredients:

• 5-6 lbs country style pork ribs
• ¾ cup apricot preserves
• ¾ cup bbq sauce
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 3 tsp minced garlic
• 2 tsp ginger
• 1 Tbs green onion
• Sesame seeds

Directions:

• Place pork ribs in a 9x13” baking dish, fill with water to cover ribs, cover dish with foil and bake for 8 hours at 175 degrees F.  Turn ribs halfway through cooking so that both sides get to sit in the water.
• Remove foil, drain water and move to new baking dish.
• Mix remaining ingredients, except onion and sesame seeds.  Cover ribs with ¾ of glaze and bake for 20 minutes.
• Cover with remaining glaze and bake for 10 more minutes.  Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
