"Cheaper by the Dozen" Spareribs

This Vintage Charleston recipe for “Cheaper by the Dozen Spare Ribs” came from my “Charleston Receipts” recipe book I bought last year on one of my many visits to this historic destination with southern charm. I was inspired to make it for a little step back in time, and it turned out to be a most delicious meal. It uses very basic ingredients and easily and quickly comes together for a tasty family meal “on a budget.”

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉ / 176℃.
Cut ribs into large serving size pieces and lay flat on side of a large roasting pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Scatter sliced onions over top of meat.
Add remaining ingredients to a medium bowl and stir together to make a sauce.
Pour sauce evenly over top of meat, then cover loosely with foil and bake for about 1 1/2 hours. You will want to baste occasionally, turning spareribs over once or twice. Remove foil the last 15 minutes to brown ribs.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides.
