Blanch the spare ribs in boiling water for 30 minutes. In the meantime, mix the honey with the apple cider vinegar and the soy sauce until you have a smooth mixture. Stir in salt, pepper and finely chopped or pressed garlic.
Brush the spare ribs with the mixture, repeat several times. The longer the spare ribs stand, the more intense the taste. When grilling, brush the top another 3-4 times. Grill until the spare ribs are done.
