    Can substitute granulated sugar for rock sugar.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This is on rotation at my house minus the eggs. I use country style pork ribs and it turns out great.

    This was ok. Everyone ate it. I will probably try this dish again but from a different recipe.

    This recipe failed for me. The sugar wouldn’t reduce down then I did the 4 cups of water and it wouldn’t reduce to a sticky glaze. Tasted ok but not a win. Should have stayed with the 3 cups of water.
