Pork Ribs
"Sweet, sour, spicy, with a bite. These juicy ribs are easy to make ahead and toss on the grill. Great for individual portions or if using chops, cut up into bite-sized pieces and serve with toothpicks as nibblers. These went over well at our family camping get together this weekend."

omg-so delicious! I used 8 pork chops. I cut all fat out and disposed of the bones. Then I marinated the pieces, using only half of the marinade. I saved the other half for a dipping sauce. I lined a pan with foil, sprayed the foil with Pam. I put the meat into the pan and covered it tightly with foil, then baked it at 300 degrees for 30 minutes, stirred and covered loosely and turned the oven up to 400 and baked for 45 minutes. I served the meat with the reserved marinade. When the weather warms I will try this recipe on the grill-kebobs maybe??? -
Wonderful recipe! I use the marinade and put it in a roaster in the oven for 90 mins at 400F. -
Very good recipe. Thanks!

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
