Honey Garlic Ribs with Fruity Syrup

Hi guys an experiment again, I opted to buy ribs, but got big slabs of liempo, weird cause the label said "ribs", no wonder I paid double. was ok though since it was so loaded with meat and thin layers of fat, some soft bone, and well some bone...about 2 inches in length at most.

this dish isn't so difficult to cook, but it requires patience :D

Here's how.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

(kitchen stuff)

- Cling Wrap

- Turbo broiler(I guess an oven would do better but since I don't have one, this would do)

(pork marinade)

- Pork Liempo or Ribs a big slab, maybe around 5L x 5W x 2H inches

- Honey

- 3 cloves of Garlic

- Salt

- Pepper

- Cayenne Pepper

- Rosemary

(Fruity Syrup)

- Strawberry jam

- Worcestershire Sauce

- Honey

- Salt

- Rosemary

(Sides)

- Potatoes

- Salt

- Cayenne Pepper

- Oregano

MARINADE:

1. Chop 3 cloves of Garlic finely

2. Mix 2 cups Honey with chopped Garlic , season with Salt, Pepper and a little Cayenne Pepper(this gives it a little kick) and add about 2 table

spoons of dried Rosemary(this will give the Meat a great aroma)

3. Rub the mixture onto the Meat making sure all sides are covered, pour a little extra Marinade the wrap tightly with the Cling Wrap.

4. leave in the ref fridge (not the freezer) for 2 days, over night will do, but this ensures the Marinade will penetrate the inside of the pork.

COOKING:

1. Prepare the syrup

a. Mix 1 cup Honey with 3/4 cup Strawberry Jam, stir until the mixture is well fused

b. Add 1/2 cup of Worcestershire sauce and again STIR.

c. Season with about 4-5 pinches of Salt and a some of Rosemary

d. Stir until the mixture is like one

e. taste, and do adjustments based on how you like it.

Note: this will taste like wine

2. Preheat the turbo broiler for 5 minutes on max heat

3. unwrap the marinated Meat and set inside the broiler

4. Brush the Meat with the Syrup covering all sides

5. Cook for 80 min on 250 degrees Fahrenheit , brushing the Meat with the Syrup every 10 min.

- at 60 min , turn the Meat upside down

- brush this side with the Syrup and cook for 10 min at 400 degrees Fahrenheit

- turn again, and brush the topside with the syrup . cook for 10 min on the last temp setting.

This will give the Meat a nice red color and a bit of a slightly burnt sweet taste.

6. To top it and make it taste even more interesting. put the remaining Syrup on a pan and cook on Low fire until it's slightly thick(careful not to burn it).

SIDES:

1. Chop Potatoes into wedges(I like medium sized potatoes, cooks faster)

2. Season with Salt, Cayenne Pepper and Oregano

3. Cook on a skillet on all sides until cooked

Done. Happy Eating!
