Ingredients
1/4 cup maple syrup (preferably Grade A)
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
4 pounds pork or beef ribs
1 tablespoon salt
Instructions
  1. If cooking in an oven, preheat oven to 350°. (For grill, see instructions below.)
  2. In a bowl, combine maple syrup, mustard, vinegar, and ketchup, and cayenne (if using). 
  3. Cut ribs into 4- to 5-inch lengths. Sprinkle lightly with salt and roast 1–1-1/4 hours. Pour off all fat. Baste with sauce and roast for another 30 minutes, basting and turning every 5 to 6 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes. Baste one last time and serve.
