It’s Grilling Time! Try these Savory Barbecue pork spare ribs to tempt your party going crowd.

The sauce combines items you probably already have in your pantry, with the exception perhaps of the spice mix.   

Any type of rum will do but I like the additional flavor of the coconut in the Malibu coconut rum.

I know I do.

I like pre-cooking the ribs in the oven over a low heat and then grilling them at the end of the cooking time. This gives me fall off the bone ribs every time.

We had these for dinner tonight. I bought organic spare ribs from Whole Foods and marinated them for about 1 1/2 hour after cooking in the oven and they were the best spare ribs I have ever eaten.
