Happy Monday everyone!  We are kicking off this week with a delicious and savory glazed spare rib recipe with hints of spice and sweet.  If you are new to the blog, if I’m not talking about animal health, I’m cooking up something fun for you all to try.  I like to incorporate Jake and Maggie in my posts and my recipes and decided to call this recipe “Jake’s Glazed Spare Ribs”.  I first saw this dish via the The Rachel Parcel Blog and thought with Easter fast approaching, this would be a great dish to make.  And if you are new to my blog, you will know that sometimes I find recipes and then put my own spin on them which I did with these glazed spare ribs.  This recipe is not hard to make and with a few simple ingredients, you will have an amazing dinner.  Add a side of asparagus, mashed potatoes or rice, toss up a small salad and you’ve got a dinner to die for!  This recipe is also great for a family, get together, or if you want leftovers.

In a small bowl, mix pepper, garlic salt, olive oil, and mince 7 cloves of garlic.  Baste each spare rib with mixture.  I used 3.8 pounds of spare ribs.

Sauté in olive oil in a large cast iron skillet until all sides are starting to get crisp.

Transfer to a baking pan lined with aluminum foil and bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes.  Turn off oven at 35 minutes and broil for 5 minutes.

While the ribs are cooking in the oven, mix up the glaze which consists of maple syrup, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, water, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce.  Boil the glaze making sure it does not burn in the pan.  When it starts to bubble, take off the heat.  Take ribs out after 15 minutes and coat with glaze.  Return to the oven to finish cooking.
