I found the recipe for this tangy-sweet basting sauce when a surplus of plums sent me searching for new ideas to use all the fruit. In summer, I like to finish the ribs on the grill, brushing on the sauce, after first baking them in the oven. — Marie Hoyer, Hodgenville, Kentucky

Ingredients

  • 5 to 6 pounds pork spareribs
  • 3/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 3/4 cup plum jam or apricot preserves
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced

Directions

  1. Cut ribs into serving-size pieces; place with bone side down on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour or until ribs are tender; drain.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; brush some of the sauce over ribs. Bake at 350° or grill over medium heat, uncovered, 30 minutes longer, turning and basting occasionally.
