• preheat an oven to 250 degrees f (120 degrees c). whisk together the , garlic, honey, worcestershire sauce, and mustard in a bowl. set aside.
• tear off 2 large sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil and lay them shiny-side down. place a rack of spareribs on each sheet, meaty-side up. tear off 2 more sheets of foil and place them on top of the ribs, shiny-side up. begin tightly folding the edges of the foil together to create a sealed packet. just before sealing completely, divide the mixture evenly into each packet. complete the seal. place the packets side-by-side on an 11x14-inch baking sheet.
• bake in the preheated oven until the ribs are very tender, 3 hours and 30 minutes to 4 hours. carefully open each packet, and drain the drippings into a saucepan. you may only need the drippings from one packet. set ribs aside. simmer the drippings over medium-high heat until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. brush the thickened sauce over the ribs.
• preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• place the ribs back into the oven and broil until the sauce is lightly caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes.
