2 racks baby back ribs
Salt
Pure maple syrup, to coat (recommended: Parker's Maple Barn Pure Maple Syrup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place ribs in a roasting pan and sprinkle with salt. Bake for approximately 25 minutes. After the ribs are golden brown, remove from the oven and baste with pure maple syrup.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees F. Tightly wrap the ribs with a foil tent, making sure not to put any holes in the foil in order to maintain moisture and flavor. Return to the oven for approximately 10 hours. When you open the foil to check the ribs (carefully avoiding the steam), you should be able to place a fork into the meat and it should immediately break off the bone. If there is any resistance or hardness, continue cooking in the oven for up to 2 hours longer.
  • After cooking is complete, coat with another layer of maple syrup. If not serving immediately, wrap in plastic to keep moist until ready to use. To serve, cut each rack in half.
  • This method of slow cooking Maple Glazed Ribs assures the most tender, moist and delicious maple-flavored ribs!

Cooking tips for the best spareribs

  • Slow cooking: Low and slow cooking methods, such as braising, slow roasting, or pressure cooking, help render the fat and connective tissue, resulting in fall-off-the-bones spareribs.
  • Use a brine solution: Brining spareribs in a mixture of water, salt, sugar, and spices before cooking them helps enhance the flavors and keep them moist.
  • Don't overcook: Be attentive to your cooking time; overcooked spareribs become dry and tough. Aim for a temperature between 145°F and 155°F for medium-cooked spareribs.
  • Glaze or baste: Adding a flavorful glaze or baste during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking caramelizes the surface of the spareribs and infuses them with rich flavors.
  • Serve hot: Like any grilled or roasted meat, spareribs are best served immediately out of the cooker to enjoy their optimum flavors and textures.

Storage tips for spareribs

  • Fresh: Keep fresh spareribs in the refrigerator for a maximum of 3-5 days. They can be stored for longer in the freezer for up to 6 months.
  • Cooked: Leftover spareribs should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheating them in a skillet, in the microwave, or on the stovetop is advisable before consumption.

Conclusion

Spareribs, when prepared well, are a culinary masterpiece. The juicy, succulent meat combined with a flavorful glaze and fall-off-the-bones tenderness makes them a hit among barbecue and grilled food enthusiasts. So, next time you're looking for a satisfying and memorable meal, give these tips a try, and you'll have perfectly crafted spareribs that will impress your taste buds and leave you craving for more.
