BBQ Pork Spare Ribs
April 30, 2023 • 0 comments
This BBQ recipe came from a 1960's homemakers compilation cookbook Alan's grandmother had. Mary uses this for her go-to recipe for many things barbecue, and this dish is one she would make for special Sunday dinners when we were growing up. Pork spare ribs are a cut that won't break the bank but will pack a lot of great flavor!

- Servings: 5
Ingredients
- (4-5 lbs) Pork Spare Ribs
- (6 Tbsp) Brown sugar
- (3 tsp) Dry mustard
- (3/8 tsp) Pepper
- (3/4 c.) Vinegar
- (1 1/2 c.) Water
- (3/4 c.) Catsup
- (3 tsp.) Salt
- (3/4 tsp.) Chili powder
- (3 Tbsp.) Worcestershire sauce
- (3 c.) Tomato juice
Directions
Combine all ingredients for barbecue sauce and simmer until slightly thickened (about 15 minutes).
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place thawed ribs in a baking dish and pour BBQ sauce over the ribs. Cover the dish with a lid or foil and bake for about 3 1/2 hours. Potatoes can be added partway through cooking if desired, after about an hour and a half or so.
The ribs can be removed from the liquid for serving, and the sauce makes a delicious gravy for the potatoes as well!
