Description

These are my mom’s amazing ribs. They are so simple, with simple ingredients but they always turn out fabulous. The key is to taste the sauce and add more or less of whatever makes you smile.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Country Style Pork Spare Ribs
  • 10 ounces, fluid Ketchup
  • 10 ounces, weight Crushed Pineapple, Drained
  • 1 whole Onion, Diced
  • 2 Tablespoons Mustard
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar

Preparation

Slab about 6-8 country style pork spare ribs on a pan and cook, uncovered for about an hour and a half at 250.

While that is going, make your sauce by adding ketchup, drained pineapple, diced small onion, mustard and brown sugar to a saucepan and simmering for about ten minutes.

(For best results add MOST, not all, of everything, so you can add more later to make the sauce to your liking.) If you feel like the sauce needs more sweetness, now is the point for adding more sugar, if you feel like it needs more tang, add some mustard.

Next, drain the fat off the ribs and cover the ribs with the sauce and then tinfoil and throw back in the oven for two and a half hours at 325. Serve with mashed potatoes and enjoy.

Made these a few months ago.. and lost the recipe. Searched and searched my fav recipe sites and found it!! So happy. I’m a busy mom of 5 making these tonight for dad’s Bday dinner.

He loves ribs. I’ve tried alot of different techniques with mostly baby backs. .. boiling water first, grilling, broiling.. these are so simple and so delish! (Plus the spare ribs are alot cheaper than baby backs)

I forgot to drain pineapple today, added only 1/4 of a red onion- and it tasted fine. These are very moist with lots of sauce.
THis and Ree’s Smashed potatoes.. doesn’t get much better!

I made these tonight for dinner and they were delicious! Even my husband who is picky when it comes to his meat eating loved this. It’s flavorful and moist. So easy to make. I did serve with mashed potatoes, but could have easily served it with rice as well. My husband had seconds and declared, “You can make this again!”
