I've got this under way. I'm thinking about using some grapefruit in
the fruit mixture in addition to the pineapple. Considered opinions
will be welcome. Smartass remarks you can keep to yerself.

What else to accompany it? I bought a package of some BirdsEye
vegetable melange at the super this afternoon. And I've got some fresh
broccoli ($1 for a large bunch). And peas, but I don't see them on the
plate. Maybe a green salad, too.

I await your advise.

Sweet and Sour Ribs

Recipe By:
Serving Size: 6
Preparation Time: 0:00
Categories: Entrees

Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method
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.

Not sure about the grapefruit, as I've never tried it in a cooked recipe.
But I'd definitely serve it with rice. Let us know how the grapefruit turns
out?

Buy bigger peas next time.
