Recipe: Maple Sugar BBQ Pork Ribs
Summer is my favorite time to grill. There is nothing better than long summer nights, cold drinks, hot ribs and entertaining with friends to set the scene for an ideal Georgia summer BBQ. Over the next few months, I will be partnering up with the National Pork Board’s “Pork Es Sabor” to share some of my favorite pork recipes with you.
Growing up in the South, I have a few recipes that I can’t wait to share with Y’all. I personally enjoy cooking with pork for a couple of reasons: First, the flavor of the meat. Its natural flavor is so delicious it doesn’t require much seasoning. Second, pork is convenient to cook and can be easily prepared. Its versatility allows for the use of different cooking methods to fit any lifestyle!
Today, I’m sharing the best Maple Sugar BBQ Pork Ribs recipe. You are going to love this recipe because pork ribs are so tender. The meat will definitely fall right off the bone, and the barbecue sauce is sweet and savory. These ribs pair really well with corn on the cob, macaroni and cheese and/or salad.
This recipe provides the best combination of salty and sweet, so make sure you bookmark this recipe for all your summer entertaining needs.
