The sauce this recipe produces was delicious. I used a 14.5 oz can of beef broth and just used the whole can. I didn't care for the fattiness of the short ribs; would use a different cut of meat next time and add a few pieces of haberno peppers to give a little more zest for my spice addicted family. Great recipe. Thanks.

My husband enjoyed this very much. My oven has a slow cook feature so I used that instead. I added browning and all spice. In the end it tasted like a Jamaican oxtail recipe. Still very good. THe rum is a great addition.
