Sticky fingers

Here's the recipe for those glazed maple ribs.

Ingredients
2 1/2 lbs pork spareribs
6 fluid ounces maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons ketchup (not Heinz...we don't like them and are boycotting all products after pulling their "gay deli" ad after a mere 200 complaints from homophobic bigots!)
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
Salt
2 teaspoons mustard (Swedish or German style is best)
A glug of Bourbon (Jack Daniels or Jim Beam)

Place ribs in a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for one hour. Drain and place in a shallow dish. In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, mustard and Bourbon.

Bring to a boil, stirring, and then remove from the heat and pour over the ribs. Toss the ribs to coat well, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Transfer ribs to a pre-heated oven and cook for about 20 minutes, or until tender and glazed. Serve hot.
