This is a Heritage Recipe

“I picked up this recipe at a sugar beet growers’ promotion in 1958. It’s been a Christmas Eve meal favorite ever since.”
Ingredients
- 4 pounds spare ribs
- ½ cup firmly packed light brown Imperial Sugar
- 1 cup chili sauce
- ½ cup vinegar
- generous dash of TABASCO® sauce
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
Instructions
- Cut spare ribs into serving size pieces. (I use country-style ribs.) Place meaty side up in a single layer in a shallow pan.
- Roast at 450°F for 30 minutes. Drain off the fat.
- Combine remaining ingredients. Pour over ribs. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue roasting for 1 to 1½ hours. Baste the ribs periodically.
