MARINADE:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

PEPPER GLAZE:

  • 1 cup apple jelly
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped, seeded jalapeño pepper
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 4 pounds pork spare ribs

Mix all marinade ingredients in medium bowl and set aside.

Combine jelly and chopped pepper in a small sauce pan and cook over low heat until jelly is melted, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in sherry and honey. Set aside.

Place ribs in a large baking pan and pour mari­nade over them. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours, turning ribs once. Prepare grill to 300° to 400° degrees.

Remove the ribs from the grill to a platter or cutting board. Brush all sides with Pepper Glaze and seal in foil, return to cool side of grill for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from grill and serve.
