Ingredients:
4 pounds pork spareribs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon mixed pickling spice
1 small onion
coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup maple-flavored syrup
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
Dash salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Directions:
Sprinkle spareribs with the 1/2 teaspoon salt. Tie pickling
spice in several thicknesses cheesecloth to make a bouquet garni;
set aside.
For glaze, in a saucepan cook onion in hot oil till tender. Add
the bouquet garni. Stir in syrup, vinegar, water, mustard, dash
salt and pepper; simmer 20 minutes. Discard bouquet garni.
Make a foil drip pan, if desired; arrange slow coals on both
sides of drip pan. Place ribs on grill; lower the grill hood.
Grill ribs about 1 1/2 hours, turning once. During cooking,
brush the ribs occasionally with glaze.
