I still remember coming home from church to the smell of these ribs baking in the oven alongside baked potatoes. They have an old-fashioned homemade barbecue sauce that clings to every morsel.
Ingredients:
4 to 5 pounds pork spareribs
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1 cup water
1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
Directions:
1. Cut ribs into serving-size pieces; place in a shallow roasting pan, bone side down. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; cook and stir for 4-5 minutes or until tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally; remove from the heat.
3. Drain fat from roasting pan. Pour sauce over ribs. Bake 45-60 minutes longer or until ribs are tender. Yield: 6 servings.
