GARLIC SPARERIBS

6 pounds spareribs 4 large cloves garlic 1 tablespoon salt 1 cup chicken stock or consomme 1 cup orange marmalade ¼ cup vinegar ¼ cup ketchup

Figure at least 1 pound spareribs per person. Leave sides whole so they can be threaded on a spit later. Crush garlic with salt. Add chicken stock or consomme with marmalade, vinegar and ketchup. Marinate ribs at least 12 hours in garlic marinade, turning several times. Weave the whole strips on spit and cook slowly over low coals for 1 to 1½ hours or until shiny brown and fork tender. Baste with the marinade during the cooking. Or if preferred, bake ribs in slow oven (300 degrees F.) for 2 hours. Baste often.
