The holidays from Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve are when this recipe has many sentimental memories for me. The ribs are the antidote to the excesses of holiday feasts. We serve them with simple cole slaw and french fries. Once the marinade is prepared, everything is quick and easy! For many years (1950) the rib shack was a Maui institution. When we moved to Maui about 15 years ago, Azeka Makai was THE place for ribs. Wedged between the Ace Hardware store and the Kihei Post Office, it was the scene of daily long lines of surfers, scuba divers, whale watchers, contractors, office staff and in the know tourists(among a lot of others) waiting for the window to open and be lucky enough to get some ribs before they ran out...and they always did! Sadly, Ace expanded and the rib shop lost its place. This is similar to those great tasting ribs, but it is completely my own recipe as I have no access to the actual recipe that was used for the Azeka Mall ribs. Also mine are not quite as sweet, adjusted for my own palate. —dymnyno
