Ingredients

For The Carolina Gold Sauce

250g French’s Classic Yellow Mustard

2 tbsp Honey

50g Light brown sugar

75ml Cider vinegar

1 tbsp Worcester sauce

1/2 tsp Garlic granules

1/2 tsp Onion granules

1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper

For The Main Dish

800g pack Asda Tender British Pork Ribs (8 ribs needed)

Corn-on-the-cobs, steamed or barbecued (optional)

Coleslaw (optional)

Method

1
To make the Carolina Gold sauce, stir together all the ingredients in a bowl and season. Put the ribs in a baking dish, then pour over roughly ? of the sauce. Use your hands to mix the sauce into the ribs so they are evenly coated. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight. Store remaining sauce in the fridge.
2
To cook the ribs, preheat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan/gas 3. Space the ribs, with their marinade, in a large, deep roasting tin and add 3 tbsp of water. Cover tightly with foil and bake until the meat is really tender, about 2.5–3 hours.
3
Meanwhile, add the remaining marinade to a small saucepan and simmer over a medium heat. Lower the heat slightly then cook, stirring regularly, for 5–6 mins until thickened and slightly reduced. Cool at room temperature.
4
Once the ribs are tender, finish them on the barbecue. Cook for about 20 mins, turning regularly and brushing with excess marinade, until deep brown and charred.
5
If finishing in the oven, increase heat to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Remove the foil and bake for 25–30 mins, turning halfway, until browned and charred. Keep a close eye as the sugar in the marinade means that it could start to burn.
6
Serve with corn-on-the-cobs and coleslaw for 2–4 people, if you like, with the remaining sauce on the side to drizzle over or dip.
