Honey Garlic Ribs

Now that Valentine's Day is behind us and we've all had our fill of sweets, I'll pass along our favorite recipe for ribs. I have no idea where the recipe originated but have been using it for years. I normally serve it with 'golden mashed potatoes' but never thought to take a photo until after the meal, so the potatoes did not show up for the photo shoot!



Honey Garlic Ribs
  • 1 ½ to 2 kg pork side ribs (about 4 pounds)
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  1. Place ribs in large roasting pan with about ½ inch of water. 
  2. Cover and bake at 350° F. for 1 ½ hours. Drain water from roaster.
  3. Combine remaining ingredients to make sauce. Pour over the ribs and bake for another ½ to 1 hour, basting ribs occasionally with the sauce.

  5. My mouth is watering and breakfast isn't nearly digested yet. . .oh those look good. The recipe is so simple. . .and the method of giving the ribs a bit of a heat bath before the sauce and then draining them. . .would make them oh so tender.

  17. Judy,
    I agree we all have eaten to much sweets, and I am ready for some real food. This looks so delicious, even without the mashed potatoes. I am always looking for new sauce recipes and this one looks like a keeper. Thanks for sharing.

  18. Oh Yum! We love ribs--I'll have to try this recipe. What is that at the top that looks biscuit-like? That looks yummy too? Do you have that recipe posted?

  19. Your ribs sound delicious! I have a question. After you put the sauce on them & additionally bake, should the roaster be covered or uncovered? Thanks. Vicki

  20. In answer to a few questions you have asked:

    ~The recipe for the scones can be found on this site. They are called Savory Cheddar Scones...posted on January 6 '09.

    ~I bake the ribs in a covered roaster right to the end, Vicki. Once they are fully cooked and tender...you could brown them up a little by removing the cover, if you wish.

  22. Very good! I got a great deal on a huge pack of ribs and decided to do two recipes at once. Did half of the ribs with your recipe and half with just Bullseye original. Didn't have time to do all the fabulous slow cooker boiling etc, but I have my new oven which just happens to have this fabulous new feature of a convection ROAST! Well, I made your ribs in 2 hours with just a teeny pre-boiling of 30 mins and 1 1/2 hours of convection roasting and they were amazing!!!! Hubby loved your garlic honey better than the BBQ flavor. No surprise there! LOL.

  23. Some times us guys get to cook as well. It was a large batch of ribs, very lean. I lay them in a roaster, and browned the underside, and added some Canola oil to keep it from sticking on, and to brown better. Mom always said, brown the meat to seal in the flavour. I was working outside, so only had a chance too check on them a few times. Instead of water, I cut up an onion and tossed in some carrots and an apple. Cooked that for a couple of hours, then raided the fridge again for something to make the sauce from, used all the bbq sauce I could find, added ketchup, and a half bottle of some fancy mustard that had been in the fridge too long. Back in the oven for a couple more hours. Fantastic. Even the Mennonite wives liked it. My son noticed the mustard. Thanks for posting your recipes, it really gives me the confidence to use what is at hand. My wife made oven roasted potatoes that were to die for. Other than the spices, I think it was the Canola oil that my son brings home from the crusher he works at. Gerald

  24. I've made these quite a few times...and the recipe is so great! Today I was looking for something to do with salmon and thought of this sauce. I marinaded the salmon in the sauce (only needed half the recipe) for a few hours and then baked it...it was wonderful!! I'll definitely be doing that again!
