Spicy Apricot Spare Ribs

Back to recipe list

                This is a recipe I got from a good friend when we both lived in Moranbah. I'm not sure where she got it from. It's the same friend who gave me the recipe for Nan's jam drops.

Ingredients

• 1 kg Pork spareribs
• 425g can Apricot nectar
• 1/2 Cup vinegar
• 2 Teaspoons Cornflour
• 2 Teaspoons Soy sauce
• 2 Teaspoons Crushed garlic (The bottled stuff is perfect)
• 1 Teaspoon Grated ginger (I use the bottled stuff)

Instructions

1. Place ribs in a pan, cover with water, add vinegar and bring to the boil. Boil uncovered for 15 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Place ribs in a shallow baking dish.
2. Blend corn flour with soy sauce, garlic, apricot nectar and ginger.
3. Pour over spareribs and bake uncovered in a moderate oven for 1 hour.
4. Add a little hot water if sauce evaporates too much.
5. I like this dish served with good old mashed vegies.
