Maple Syrup Pork Ribs

My family is very fortunate to have a "sugar bush" in Northern Ontario, where we make our own maple syrup every spring. As a result, it is usually plentiful so we use it pretty much everyday in baking and cooking. We think that everything tastes better with maple syrup! I serve the ribs with a side of long-grain brown and Canadian wild rice blend that I make up (3/4 brown to 1/4 wild), oven roasted squash and steamed green beans with toasted walnuts. Tip: this is a terrific recipe to make earlier in the day (up to the point of cooking it for one hour). Just cover the baking dish with foil and keep refrigerated until ready, then you can visit with your guests while it bakes. I also put the rice on at that time as it takes an hour to steam and the squash can go right in the oven, at the same time and temperature as the ribs as well. You just have to steam the beans for the last few minutes before the meal. I have been making this recipe for over eighteen years and everyone of every age loves it.
