  • Pat dry and coat with sugar and salt.
  • Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Place a rack over a roasting pan and roast at 350 for an hour.
  • Whip up the Island Marinade, baste ribs and roast 15 more minutes.
  • Turn, baste and roast 15 more minutes.
  • Turn again, baste and roast 15 more minutes or until well glazed.
  • The second method is very good.
  • Marinate in beer and garlic, dry, coat in island marinade and let stand as before, but this time keep the beer and garlic marinade, place in an old 9x13 pan.
  • Place pan directly on large amount of coals of medium heat.
