AWESOME RIBS FOR PORK OR BEEF
This is an awesome and easy-to-make rib recipe. I always thought it was my mother's creation, but a few years ago I found a very similar version in a 1950s Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. We'll never know who made it first. My mother was a home economist, and a goddess of recipes -- I should post more of her gems. Anyway, I usually make this with pork ribs (almost any cut), but also discovered that it was great for beef ribs. That was when I lived in Syria and pork was hard to get. The first time I ordered ribs from the Syrian butcher, he proudly and kindly cut out the ribs. Bummer. By the way, don't be put off by the number of steps. This is really easy to make.

Steps:
- Cut ribs into individual ribs, and place all the pieces in large roasting pan.
- Scatter the thickly sliced onions over the ribs.
- Sprinkle lemon juice over the ribs.
- Bake for one hour in an oven that has been pre-heated to 350 degrees.
- Pour off ALL the fat and juice that has accumulated.
- In the meantime, make the sauce.
- To make the sauce, combine the last five ingredients in a saucepan, and cook (boil) for 20-25 minutes. Stir frequently. You want the sauce to cook down and thicken up.
- Dip cooked ribs into the sauce, and place in roasting pan. It's best if you make a single layer of ribs at this stage so, if necessary, use more than one pan.
- Dip cooked onions into sauce, and scatter over ribs.
- At this stage, you can refrigerate the concoction (covered with cling wrap) for a day or two -- so the flavours can really meld.
- Cook ribs a second time-for 30-60 minutes-in an oven that has been pre-heated to 325°F If you have refrigerated the concoction, take out of the fridge at least two hours before the second cooking. Thanks to Heystopthatnow for alerting me to the fact that I had omitted a cooking time for this step.
- Before the second cooking, baste the ribs. Then baste them again every 10 minutes. You want the ribs to be saucy.
- Serve with corn cobs, baked potatoes and salad. Garlic bread is nice, too.
RIBS FANTASTIC
This is a simple, yet tasty recipe that uses beef short ribs. The longer cooking time is definitely worth the wait. The sauce is excellent. Serve with baked potato and fresh sweet corn on the cob.

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs. For pork ribs, look for baby back ribs or spare ribs. Baby back ribs are leaner and more tender, while spare ribs have more meat and a richer flavor. For beef ribs, choose short ribs or back ribs.
- Prepare the ribs properly. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat. Cut the ribs into individual pieces if desired.
- Use a good rub. A rub is a mixture of spices and seasonings that is applied to the ribs before cooking. There are many different rub recipes available, so experiment to find one that you like. Some popular ingredients in rubs include brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Cook the ribs slowly and low. The best way to cook ribs is to cook them slowly and low. This will help the ribs to become tender and fall off the bone. Cook the ribs at a temperature of 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 hours, or until the ribs are cooked through.
- Baste the ribs regularly. Basting the ribs with a mixture of apple juice, vinegar, and brown sugar will help to keep them moist and flavorful. Baste the ribs every 30 minutes or so during the cooking process.
