Baby Back Ribs with a Tangy Maple Glaze

Mains / Pork

Baby back ribs with a tangy maple syrup glaze
Featuring Pure Maple Syrup
4 portions

Ingredients

  • 2 baby back pork ribs

For the pork rib glaze:

  • 605ml tomato ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich taste)
  • 2 tbsp cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano leaves
  • 1 tsp ground cumin

Method

  1. Pre-heat oven to 160C/Gas 3
  2. Combine all glaze ingredients together and gently warm on a low heat in a pan
  3. Add a splash of water to keep consistency pourable yet glossy. Leave 1⁄4 of glaze for later
  4. Lay ribs on a baking tray and fully coat with glaze using a pastry brush. Cover with foil and oven bake for 2 hours
  5. Remove ribs from oven and coat with the remaining glaze. Return re-glazed ribs uncovered to the oven and bake for a further 25 minutes, until crispy edges appear and caramelised sauce shows
  6. Serve with a tangy homemade slaw and garnish with chopped spring onions

These baby back ribs, generously coated in a caramelised maple glaze, are oozing with personality. Canadian maple syrup serves as the key ingredient in this flavour-packed pork ribs recipe, adding a splash of natural sweetness to these smoky, sticky wings.

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree — that’s all.
