Step 1

Make the spice rub by combining the Tate & Lyle Dark Soft Brown Sugar, the spices, herbs and salt together in a bowl, then divide in half.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 170°C/Fan 150°, 325°F, Gas 3.

Step 3

Place the ribs in 2 large roasting tins, sprinkle them with half of the spice mixture and then rub it in well. Pour 100ml (3½floz) water into each pan. Roast on the top and middle shelves of the oven for 2 hours, swapping the pans over halfway through and turning the ribs over. Pour off the fat. They are ready when crisp, browned and all the fat has been rendered from the lamb.

Step 4

Whilst the ribs are cooking, make the barbecue sauce. Pour the oil into a pan, add the onion and garlic and cook over a lowish heat for 15-20 minutes until very soft, stirring occasionally. Stir in the rest of the spice mixture and cook for 2 minutes. Add the apple juice and vinegar, then increase the heat and cook for about 12-15 minutes to reduce it down. Stir in the Tate & Lyle Dark Soft Brown Sugar and cook for another 3-4 minutes until thickened but still with some liquidity.

Step 5

Take some of the sauce and brush it all over the ribs. Return to the oven and cook for a further 8-10 minutes until sticky and glazed. Transfer to a serving dish and serve with the rest of the barbecue sauce.

Step 6

If barbecuing the ribs, cook them in the oven as before, brush with the sauce and then finish off on the barbecue over a moderate heat for a few minutes until sticky and glazed.

Make ahead

Step 1

Make the spice rub up to 2 weeks ahead and store in a jar.

Step 2

Make the barbecue sauce up to 2 weeks ahead and store in a lidded container in the fridge.

The perfect Valentine’s cocktail? It’s got to be a smooth, creamy hazelnut espresso martini – and just for you, we’ve put together our best recipe.

We’ve chosen slow-roasted Mayan Gold coffee from @cafedirect because its caramel flavours pair perfectly with our Barista Collection hazelnut syrup.

Just pour everything over ice in a cocktail shaker, shake it up and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Finish with a few whole roasted coffee beans. Happy Valentine’s ❤️

45ml Vodka
30ml Hot Cafédirect Mayan Gold coffee
15ml Espresso coffee liqueur
7.5ml Hazelnut liqueur
7.5ml Tate & Lyle hazelnut syrup

Research shows that in Central American countries, like Belize where most of our Fairtrade sugar is grown, women typically earn a third less than men, and less than half of women are part of the workforce (compared to 78% in the UK). 

Since 2008, Tate & Lyle's Fairtrade licensed sales in the UK have contributed an estimated £32 million in Fairtrade Premium. Initiatives funded by the brand’s Fairtrade Premium have included a programme focused on female empowerment by The Progressive Sugarcane Producers Association.
