��SY SWE�T AND SA�TY PORK ��BS.

January 30, 2018 - 8 Co m m e n t s
This fall brought with it the harvest of two large pigs on the
farm. Our larder and freezers are still bursting at the seams. I'm
doing my very best to wade through Porklandia and I'm loving
every minute.
Hence the recipe for these easy sweet and salty pork ribs. They're sweet and salty and easy.
Lest you be confused.

They're also ridiculously moist, thanks to the simple technique of slow cooking them in
stock. This renders them absolutely delicate and moist before we sauce and char them up a
bit. It's a textural and �avorful wonderland. But enough chatting. Let's get to it (I assume you're
here for the pork after all).
Easy Sweet and Salty Pork Ribs

It's best to start this recipe after breakfast so that it can cook all day. Alternatively, you can do
the slow cooking over the weekend and sauce and reheat the ribs later on in the week.
You will need:
For the meat
• 4-5 pounds high-quality pork ribs (organic and pastured is best)

• 2 cups pork, chicken, vegetable or beef stock
For the sauce
2 of 18 2023-07-11, 9:26 a.m.

• 1 cup tomato sauce or ketchup

• 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper �akes
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons minced garlic
• Sea salt and pepper, to taste
1. Lay the ribs on a baking sheet. Pour the stock over the top of the meat and cover the entire
sheet in foil. This is creating a poaching environment of sorts where the meat will cook for the
next few hours. Place in a 300-degree oven for 5-6 hours.

2. You'll know the pork is ready when it's, quite literally, falling o� the bone. If you're a strong-
willed person, you can avoid picking o� small bits of pork to taste test. If you're not… well…
you're in good company.
3. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce together in a bowl and give it a taste. Does it need more
spice? More salt? More syrup? Adjust to your liking.

6 of 18 2023-07-11, 9:26 a.m.

4. Slather it on, baby. I just use the back of a spoon to smoosh it all around that fatty pork. The
acid from the tomato and vinegar really work to cut the fat of the ribs, while the syrup brings
out the sweetness and caramelizes in the oven. Ya, buddy.

5. Broil in the oven until the top of the ribs are deeply darkened. This part of the method could
certainly be done on a grill, which would impart even more �avor – but currently, our grill is
under a sheet of ice and snow. So there you have it. Broil it is.

See? I told you these easy sweet and salty pork ribs were salty and sweet and easy. You're
going to need extra napkins for this…
Enjoy!
And Amen.

I have been wondering about pork stock – is that a thing? We just picked up our �rst pick last
weekend and ended up with neck bones. Can I make stock the same as if I was using a
chicken carcass?

I’ve been wondering how to prepare those ribs that were in the freezer! They are in their
poaching liquid and cooking away right now. The sauce sounds fabulous too–I’m using maple
syrup instead of honey, as I’ve been reading lately that honey becomes toxic when heated. So
looking forward to enjoying these this evening! Thank you!
