Serve these baby pork ribs as part of a pupu platter for a stunning -- and delicious -- presentation. This recipe is adapted from "Martha Stewart's Hors d'Oeuvres for Entertaining."

Ingredients

  • 2 racks baby-back ribs (about 1 ¼ pounds each), halved crosswise

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated, peeled ginger

  • 2 teaspoons chile paste

  • 3 tablespoons dark-brown sugar

  • ¼ cup molasses

  • ½ cup hoisin sauce

  • ½ cup dark soy sauce

  • ½ cup red currant jelly

Directions

  1. Place ribs in a large shallow baking dish; set aside.

  2. Combine the garlic, ginger, chile paste, sugar, molasses, hoisin, soy, and jelly in a medium bowl. Pour mixture over ribs, stirring to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate, refrigerated, for at least 8 hours or up to overnight.

  3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove ribs from marinade, reserving marinade. Place ribs on a rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake, turning frequently and basting with reserved marinade, until the ribs are tender and well browned, about 45 minutes.

  4. Transfer ribs to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before cutting into individual ribs.
