Just’s Jerk Spare Ribs

Just’s Jerk Spare Ribs is a favourite of a good friend Justina, hence Just’s. This is a lovely American recipe that can be served as a main dish with chips, jacket potato, salad or on its own. It can also be served as a snack or side dish. The ribs are sticky, tasty and totally delicious and only take 45 minutes to cook. The success is the marinade which can be made in advance. I like to prepare the ribs the night before for that extra POW! These can also be perfect for BBQ.
