Just made them for me. Marinade very good. Have to agree with Deedlit. They were burnt on the outside and very pink within. As for Alethea - boil them!!!! Yuk!!!!! Jackie Woolnough, you can't taste the rum as such. It all gets cooked up and yor child wouldn't have known.

5 star rating! (can't seem to make the rating indicator work)

Without rum (as I didn't have any!) this sauce is utterly divine -you will never bother with shop bought "barbeque (flavoured)" sauce again. And this coming from someone who dislikes the taste of mustard! I make these regularly. Ribs are tough though, so will add water to cooking pan next time, as suggested by other commentators.

Has anyone tried this in the slow cooker to save on fuel cost/stop the sauce burning/tenderise the meat?

Fantastic recipe, I am normally rather dull with my BBQ but a definitely going to try this. My only worry is that I am in possession of a <ahref="http://www.bedsbbq.co.uk/barbecue-shop/Swiss_Grill_Barbeques.html">swiss grill bbq</a> which is a gas grill so will the taste be the same?

I wanted to use the sauce recipe, which I'd used before when cooking ribs in the oven, but this time I was doing spare rib chops on the BBQ. I thought the bits of onion, chilli etc might burn, so I whizzed all the ingredients in the blender first, before marinading the meat. Absolutely brilliant. I made half the amount and still didn't need all that for the two large chops. Next time I'll keep half back and try it the following day over chicken.

Fabulous! The summer weather vetoed a BBQ, so I cooked the ribs in the oven in this sauce. We all loved them and I have kept the recipe to use again. As we had no rum (or cooking spirits full stop) I used sherry vinegar & white wine instead of rum and it was still really tasty.

lovely - will make again

yummy

These were absolutely gorgeous! I used maple syrup instead of honey as I had run out.

Cooed it tonight, but substituted red wine plus a splash of balslmic vinegar instead of rum. Cooked in the oven but finished off under the grill. A great success!
Have frozen half of it raw for another day.

Going to try this tonight. Is it best to freeze extra cooked or uncooked

Fantastic!! Did it in the oven and it was great. Boiled the ribs for 20 minutes as suggested by somebody else and then cooked in the oven as per the instructions. Looking forward to using the barbecue!!

Great BBQ sauce. We added the cupful of water to it and then put the ribs in the oven proof dish, soak them in the sauce and let them cook for hour and half. They were so delicious and soft.
We didn't use rum, but will definitely try to use some red wine vinegar next time. And we added a bit more soya sauce and reduce sugar..

A great recipe the whole family loved this one, especially the children.we served the Ribs with homemade roasted potato wedges and onion rings, enjoy.

Delicious one of the best recipes of spare ribs I've ever eaten!

Even though I live in Spain and have the weather for BBQ's I did them in the oven. I took the advice of boiling them for 20 mins and used normal Red Rum. I didn;t put the Allspice in as I didn't have any. They were fantastic. My husband said they were the best I had ever done and I agree. The flavour was superb and I will definitely be making them again.

I love this sauce. Tend to marinade for a good few hours and cook in the oven to finish on the BBQ if the weather is good enough. Even my mum loves these and she's very picky.

Although I've tried this recipe & it's amazing, I also slightly adapted it so there's less faffing around with equally sticky, delicious results! I used 1 glove crushed garlic, 1tsp chinese 5 spice powder, 2tbsp dark brown soft sugar and 2tbsp soy sauce mixed with a squirt of ketchup or bbq sauce, coated my rack of ribs and marinated in a food bag for 24hrs in the fridge. I cooked them for 50 mins, gas 5 covered in foil and then a further 30 mins at gas 7 uncovered and brushed with more sauce a couple of times during cooking. These are so tasty & I will definitely be making them again & again!

Delicious., hubbie says the best ribs he has ever had! Pre-boiled in pressure cooker for +/- 20 mins and then cooked in the oven. Served with spicy potato wedges cooked in oven at same time. Boiled leftover marinade ( only had half amount of ribs to full qty of sauce) with sweetcorn and baked beans to make a BBQ bean/ corn relish type accompaniament. Used red onion and red wine vinegar substitutes and tasted great! Will be trying the kids with them tomorrow...let's see.
