Sweet and Tangy Short Ribs Recipe
Sweet and Tangy Short Ribs - the name says it all. Sweet from the honey or maple syrup and tangy from the vinegar and Worcestershire sauce.
You can certainly use baby back ribs instead of short ribs.
In my opinion, Short ribs are better than baby back ribs because they have more meat thus more for me to eat!
