Maple Barbecued Spareribs

Ingredients:
– 2 racks of pork spareribs
– 1 cup of pure maple syrup
– 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
– 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
– 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon of onion powder
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 300-350°F (150-175°C).
2. Prepare the spareribs by removing the membrane from the back of the racks. This step will help the flavors penetrate the meat better during cooking.
3. Season the racks generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides. Make sure to rub the seasoning into the meat for maximum flavor.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, barbecue sauce, and apple cider vinegar. This sweet and tangy sauce will be the star of your dish.
5. Place the seasoned spareribs on the grill, bone side down. Cook them for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
6. After the initial 30 minutes, start basting the spareribs with the maple-barbecue sauce regularly, every 10-15 minutes, until the meat is tender and the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
7. Keep an eye on the grill temperature and adjust as needed to maintain a steady heat level to cook the ribs slowly and evenly.
8. Once the ribs are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them into individual portions.
9. Serve the Maple Barbecued Spareribs with an extra drizzle of the maple-barbecue sauce on top and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
10. Enjoy the sticky, sweet, and savory flavors of these delicious ribs with your favorite sides like coleslaw, cornbread, or grilled vegetables.
