Cut into serving-size pieces; serve with reserved sauce.

JIM'S "DON'T SPARE THE SPARERIBS" RIBS

Steps:

• At least the night before you make the ribs, if not earlier, combine the BBQ sauce ingredients in a saucepan.
• Simmer over medium low heat for 1/2 an hour.
• Chill overnight (keeps several months in the refrigerator).
• The night before you make the ribs, combine the spice rub ingredients in a bowl, and mix together well.
• Pat about 1/3 of the total spice rub on the top and bottom of the rib slabs.
• Allow to sit, refrigerated, overnight.
• The next day, about 5 hours before dinner, take the ribs out of the fridge, sprinkle top and bottom with about half of the remaining spice rub.
• Let sit at room temperature for 45 minutes.
• Take BBQ sauce out of refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature.
• Heat oven to 200- 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
• After the ribs sit at room temperature, put them in the oven on a large sheet tray, or indeed several large sheet trays if needed.
• Bake 4 hours.
• If the ribs start to look dry, baste them with a little beer.
• About halfway through cooking time, sprinkle ribs with the rest of the spice rub.
• about 45 minutes before ribs are done, brush with a fairly liberal amount of the BBQ sauce.
• Once ribs are done, baste them with more sauce, if you like.
• Let ribs sit 10 minutes before cutting into individual ribs, or 1/2 slabs, as I prefer.
• Serve with plenty of extra sauce on the side, and plenty of napkins.

BARBEQUE PORK SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Barbeque Sauce: Heat butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. The butter should begin to bubble and foam as it heats. Once the foam subsides, add onions and saute over medium heat for five minutes, until just soft. Add garlic and saute for one minute. Add tomato puree, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar, chili powder and paprika and bring to a simmer.
• Cook uncovered until thickened, about one and a half hours. Remove from heat, let cool and separate one cup of sauce to be used to baste and three cups to be served as sauce on the side. Refrigerate until ready to use.This sauce will be used to baste the ribs during the final 10 minutes of cooking time on the barbecue.
• Dry Rub: Combine all ingredients and set aside. Placed in an airtight container, this rub will keep for about three months.
• Pork Ribs: pare the grill: Place a drip pan filled with water in the barbecue - the ribs will cook above it. If using a gas grill, place the pan to one side and only light half of the burners. If using charcoal, get the coals hot and spread them out from the middle, creating a well for the drip pan to sit in. Rub pork spareribs with dry rub mixture. Note: It is not necessary to apply the dry rub hours beforehand; applying just before cooking yields the same results.
• Check grill to see if it's reached the proper temperature, 200 degrees F. Place ribs on grill over drip pan, close barbecue lid and cook for about 1 1/2-2 hours at 200 degrees F. Turn ribs every 20-30 minutes, adding coals or adjusting gas to maintain a steady 200 degrees F. Some fluctuation is okay (and unavoidable if using charcoal), but the goal is to stay between 190 degrees F-220 degrees F.
• Begin basting ribs with sauce in the final 10 minutes of grill time (after about 1 1/2 hours). Any earlier and the sauce will simply dry out. Once the ribs are cooked, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil and place inside paper bags. Set aside for 30 minutes to allow them to steam and tenderize the meat further without overcooking. Remove and serve with remaining sauce on the side.

TENDER PORK SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Mix the brown sugar, fajita seasoning, and paprika in a bowl. Rub both sides of the pork spareribs with the brown sugar mixture. Place the spareribs in a 9x13-inch baking pan; cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Whisk together the beer, garlic, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard in a bowl. Set aside.
• Tear off 2 large sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil and lay them shiny-side down. Place a rack of spareribs on each sheet, meaty-side up. Tear off 2 more sheets of foil and place them on top of the ribs, shiny-side up. Begin tightly folding the edges of the foil together to create a sealed packet. Just before sealing completely, divide the beer mixture evenly into each packet. Complete the seal. Place the packets side-by-side on an 11x14-inch baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the ribs are very tender, 3 hours and 30 minutes to 4 hours. Carefully open each packet, and drain the drippings into a saucepan. You may only need the drippings from one packet. Set ribs aside. Simmer the drippings over medium-high heat until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Brush the thickened sauce over the ribs.
• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Place the ribs back into the oven and broil until the sauce is lightly caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes.

SPARE RIBS WITH SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Place ribs in a large pot, cover them with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain the water and cool the ribs until you can touch them. Cut them into 1 or 2 rib portions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set them aside.
• In a large Dutch oven sauté the onion in shortening until glassy. Add the ribs, reduce the heat and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Drain sauerkraut and add it to the ribs. Pour water and wine over the ribs. Add the apple, bay leaf and cloves, turn up the heat and bring to a boil. Turn down heat to low, cover the pot and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
• Peel, wash and grate the potato and place into the sauerkraut mixture. Add a little water if needed. Stir and simmer another 1/2 hour. Season with salt and pepper and a dash of sugar.
