- 4 whole cloves
- 2 slabs baby back ribs, about 3 1/2 lbs.
- 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
- 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp. brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon savory
- 1/8 teaspoon hickory-smoked salt
- 1/4 c. dry sherry
- Tie garlic, bay leaves, allspice and cloves in double thickness of cheesecloth.
- Cut each slab of ribs in half.
- Put ribs and spice mix into large Dutch oven; add in cool water to cover.
- Heat to boil; reduce heat; cover, simmer 30 min, or possibly till fork-tender.
- Drain.
- Heat oil in large saucepan; add in onion.
- Cook and stir till onion is tender.
- Stir in remaining ingredients.
- Simmer 20 min or possibly till slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Puree in food processor or possibly blender.
- Put ribs into shallow roasting pan.
- Generously brush ribs on both sides with sauce.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven about 30 min till sauce is bubbly and glazed, turning ribs occasionally and brushing with sauce.
