Perfect for 4th of July!!: Jordan+Brenda's Cherry Glazed Spareribs!

Grilled Spareribs with Cherry Cola Glaze

4 12-oz cans cherry cola (flat)
2 Tbsp malt vinegar or apple cider vinegar
2 C cherry jam or preserves
1 Tbsp hot pepper sauce
⅔ C Dijon mustard with horseradish
7¼ to 7½ lbs well-trimmed pork spareribs
3 Tbsp soy sauce

Boil cherry cola in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to 1½ cups, about 45 minutes. Stir in next 5 ingredients. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until mixture is reduced to 2½ cups, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes.

Transfer glaze to large bowl.

Position racks in top and bottom thirds of oven and preheat to 325 ºF. Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper. Wrap each rib rack tightly in foil, enclosing completely. Divide foil packets between 2 rimmed baking sheets. Bake until ribs are very tender, switching positions of baking sheets halfway through baking, about 2 hours total.

Cool ribs slightly in foil. Pour off any fat from foil packets.

Prepare barbecue (medium-low heat).

Cut each rib rack between bones into individual ribs. Set aside 1 cup glaze. Add ribs to bowl with remaining glaze and toss to coat. Grill ribs until brown and glazed, turning to prevent burning, about 5 minutes total. Serve, passing reserved glaze separately.

I hear that Jordan insists on making these spareribs when he and Brenda have peeps over..

Danger - this is so good, you might eat them ALL. I also tried it on Chicken Wings and it was really good.

Thanks
