Ingredients:

3 lbs. pork spare ribs

Brine:
½ cup of salt
1 tsp. mustard seeds
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. cayenne
1 tsp. paprika
3 bay leaves
3 cloves garlic - crushed

In a large bowl that has a cover or a pot that has a cover, place the rack of spare ribs. Add the ingredients for the brine and cover with water. Cover the container and place in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

In a baking pan place the ribs and add about an inch one inch of the brine water. Place in the oven and bake for about 2 - 2 ½ hours, do not replace the brine it should evaporate whle the ribs bake.

These were some of the most tender and tasty spare ribs.2 ½ They were delicious…. (if I must say so myself.)

I hope you enjoy them. These ribs are definitely worth the time to make.

Enjoy with Lots of Love,

Catherine

    These look and sound so good! I love ribs but get impatient when cooking on the grill. This method sounds perfect and if I want I can add bbq sauce at the end.
    Thanks

    These sound delicious. I would have never thought to brine ribs, but it sure works well with turkey; they must really be tender and tasty:)
