They would make a great little appetizer for one of your backyard parties.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully by late fall\/early December we will be in our new house we are building here in Round Top and I can start cooking and posting more. Right now I&#8217;m helping out at the brewery 30-35 hours a weekend so by the time I get home I usually just throw something together. Believe me, you would not want to be at our table on those nights. Monday-Wednesday is my time to come up with something I really want to try BUT when it stays 100\u00b0+for weeks on end, it&#8217;s really hard to make myself turn on the oven.<\/p>\n<p>Check out your pork section and see if you can find these cute little ribs. Yeah, there&#8217;s a lot of cute food out that.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>BLAST FROM THE PAST<\/strong><\/span>: Ya, just have to try this<a

The last 5 minutes brush sauce on both sides. You do not want the sauce to burn. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Note: My husband probably cooked them a total of 12-15 minutes. If you want to try in the oven I would start with a 350\u00b0 oven and cook until browned and glazed. They cook really fast and probably too small to try and get an internal temperature on them.
