Recipe: Ginger Rub and Honey Marinade for Oven Roasted Pork and Spare Ribs

GINGER RUB AND HONEY MARINADE
FOR PORK AND SPARE RIBS

Pork roast or spare ribs
2 slices ginger root, chopped
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sherry
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic, crushed

Rub pork or ribs with ginger, sugar and salt; leave to stand 1 hour.

Combine the soy sauce, sherry, honey and garlic. Marinate the meat in this mixture for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Fill a pan about half full of water to leave in the oven 3/4 of the cooking time (helps keep the meat nice and moist).

Place meat in a roasting pan. Roast until meat is cooked through (how long depends upon the cut of meat). My spare ribs take about 1 to 1 1/4 hours.

If desired, you can pour the drippings through a strainer into a saucepan and thicken with cornstarch.
