Did you get spare ribs or country style ribs? Not the same thing
a'tall, Curt. The country ribs are mostly meat, the spare ribs are
mostly bone.

For a long time now, I haven't been able to find country ribs with a
bone in them at the supermarket. I'm thinking it's going to be a trip
to Ready Meats for them. The boneless just aren't the same.

Sweet and Sour Ribs

Recipe By: Posted to r.f.c. again by Barb Schaller 8-1-2007
Serving Size: 6

4 # country style ribs or spareribs (4 to 6)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 cup water
1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate thawed
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 can crushed pineapple (15 1/4 oz.)
undrained
1 small onion sliced

Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper; wrap in heavy duty foil, folding
over several times to seal. Place packets on cookie sheets or shallow
baking pan. Bake at 350° for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, cornstarch and
ginger. Gradually add water, stirring until smooth. Add orange juice
concentrate, vinegar, soy sauce, and pineapple with juice. Mix well.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and clear.

Remove ribs from foil and drain. Place cooked ribs in shallow baking
dish; add sliced onion. Pour sauce over ribs. Return to oven and bake,
uncovered, at 350° for 1-1/2 hours or until tender. If desired, serve
over rice. Makes about 6 large servings.

Have made these -- quite good. I don¹t think they take all of the
second time period to finish baking, though.
