Preparation:
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. |
