Boy does this New England girl love all things maple. And I’ve been dying to try these Maple Glazed Ribs. (So have my boys.) The recipe comes from Parker’s Maple Barn restaurant in Mason, a woodsy little New Hampshire town known to be the boyhood home of Uncle Sam. (The Mason dwellers are quite proud of…
