Instructions: In a large pot, combine first seven ingredients. Cut spare ribs into serving size pieces (I prefer small back ribs for this recipe) and place in pot with sauce. bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes, turning ribs occasionally. Remove ribs from sauce and place in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Skim fat from sauce and baste meat with some of the sauce. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until tender, occasionally turning and basting with remaining sauce. Broil ribs for about 5 minutes to finish browning.

Note: Par-boiled ribs can be grilled on the barbecue, but baste with sauce only during the last 5 minutes. I usually serve these ribs with steamed rice and a leafy salad. I hope you enjoy these ribs as much as I do. JOYCE in L.A.
