• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon whole allspice
• 4 whole cloves

• 2 tbsp. oil
• 1 med. onion, minced
• 2 c. diced fresh or possibly liquid removed canned tomatoes
• 1 (8 ounce.) can tomato sauce
• 1/2 c. pure maple syrup or possibly 1/3 c. light corn syrup

• 2 tbsp. brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon savory
• 1/8 teaspoon hickory-smoked salt
• 1/4 c. dry sherry

2. Cut each slab of ribs in half.
