MOM'S BEST BARBECUED RIBS

Steps:

• Note: you may use Splenda brown sugar blend in place of brown sugar.
• Cut the ribs into sections of 3 or 4 ribs each.
• Place on rack in roasting pan; pour boiling water in bottom of pan. Cover tightly with foil and bake in preheated 300° oven for 2 hours.
• Prepare sauce by melting margarine in a saucepan. Add chopped onion and simmer until tender but not brown.
• Add catsup to onions.
• In a 2-cup measure, mix remaining ingredients, stirring well to dissolve brown sugar.
• Add this to catsup, stirring as you bring it to boil. Turn heat very low and let sauce simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened.
• Remove ribs from roasting pan, place on large foil-lined cookie sheet (for easier cleanup). Brush both sides generously with sauce.
• Turn oven up to 375° and return ribs to oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
• BONUS: Sauce recipe may be doubled or tripled, and remaining sauce can be stored in air-tight jar or bottle in the fridge. It keeps well for up to a month. Mine never lasts that long because I use it on everything.

MY MOTHER'S BBQ SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Stir the hoisin and ketchup together in a large bowl. Season the spare ribs on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Cut the rack into individual ribs. Add to the hoisin mixture and toss to coat evenly. Transfer the ribs to a large baking dish, clean the sides of the dish, and cover with aluminum foil. Place the ribs in the oven.
• Cook the ribs in the oven for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and continue to cook until the sauce becomes syrupy and the meat is tender, about another 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, pile the ribs on a platter, and serve immediately.

MOM'S STOVE-TOP PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Place the spareribs into a large pot, and fill with just enough water to cover. Add the soy sauce, garlic, rosemary, oregano, bay leaves, lime juice and 3/4 of the parsley. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered over medium heat until the water has completely evaporated, about 25 minutes.
• When all of the water is gone, remove the bay leaves, and allow meat to brown, turning occasionally. Use a spatula to scrape up browned bits and softened garlic from the bottom of the pot, and toss them with the pork. The garlic will dissolve onto the meat. Remove the meat, and drain on paper towels. Season with black pepper and garnish with lime wedges and remaining parsley.
