Ingredients

  • 1 kg Sheet of Bacon Ribs 2.2lb
  • 1 Litre Boiling Water 4 Cups
  • 2 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Black Treacle
  • 1 Medium Onion
  • 2 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 18 Black Peppercorns

For the Apricot Glaze:

  • 75 g Apricot Jam ¼ Cup
  • 2 tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon Dijon Mustard

Instructions

  • If your butcher has not removed the membrane from the bottom of the ribs, remove it. Pick at a corner and pull, using some kitchen paper or a tea towel helps with this, then give it a tug, if you are lucky, it will come off in one piece.
  • Top and tail the onion, then cut it into 4 rings.
  • Pour the boiling water into a 30cm (12") x 25cm (10") roasting tin.
  • Stir the treacle and the mustard into the boiling water until the treacle dissolves.

  • Remove the ribs from the cooking liquid, discard the stuff the ribs cooked in and add a cooking grid to the tray. Place the ribs on the grid and brush them generously with the glaze on both sides.
    Return to the oven and cook for 10 minutes.
