Sweet and Tangy Apricot-Glazed Pork Ribs

Position the ribs in a spacious roasting dish. Combine apricot preserves, soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic powder in a bowl, stirring until they blend seamlessly; pour the mixture over the ribs, cover them, and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

Heat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). Cover a baking tray with aluminum foil.

Take the ribs out of their marinade and gently shake off any excess. Place the ribs in the prepared baking tray; sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Transfer the marinade to a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over high heat; then reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer for 5 minutes; set it aside to cool.

Bake the ribs in a preheated oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) until they become tender and the meat can be easily pulled away from the bone, approximately 1 hour 30 minutes, periodically basting them with the marinade. Use a thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
