Coca Cola Spareribs
A community recipe by RenskeNot tested or verified by Nigella.com
Introduction
On request. The sweet and sticky spareribs. Totally inspired on Nigella's ham in Coke. The boiling makes them really tender and make them fall of the bone, so to speak.

I waited an age after boiling the ribs for half an hour. The recipe says remove the ribs and reduce the juice in the pan to a syrup. Trust me it does not reduce, also there's a disgusting scum that accumulates when boiling the ribs. In the end I decided to boil fresh cola to reduce it does take ages though.
Spare ribs method is confusing? 4.Heat the oven (200 C) and put the ribs on a baking tray. 5.Poor the marinade over the ribs and grill them for about an hour. Are we grilling or roasting ?
