My friend Dale was a big eater, as was her construction-worker husband. She made this recipe just for the 2 of them, and would double it if having another couple over for dinner (she gave me this recipe after I had it at her house, back in, I think, 1977). I have indicated "two servings", but I think maybe it can be stretched a little more She always served it with mashed potatoes and cole slaw.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 1/2 lbs side ribs
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons celery seeds

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 300 F and place ribs in a small roaster; set aside.
2
Combine all other ingredients together in a saucepan and simmer until mixture thickens.
3
Pour sauce over ribs and bake until ribs are very tender; at least 3 hours.
4
She never told me to baste them, but I check them about once per hour and do baste them a bit with the sauce.
5
According to my friend Dale,"serves 2 hearty eaters".

Yum! Made exactly as directed and we had the moistest, tenderest, tastiest, fall off the bone spareribs I've ever had. It didn't say whether or not to cover, so we tented with foil for the first 2-1/2 hours and then removed and basted, basted, basted for the last 1/2 hours. Great ribs!

Man this is excellent! Boy what a taste! I used beef ribs and the sauce is just perfect. The kind of sauce that when the ribs are gone, you dip your bread in it to get it all. s Easy to fix and so delicious. This a winner...a keeper...and getting fixed again next Sunday. I'm glad I picked this one. Many Thanks for it.

A definite keeper! Ribs were so tender, the bone slipped right out. The preparation is simple. I added approximately 3 tablespoons bottled BBQ sauce because I found it a little too sweet for my liking. Perhaps I should have left out the brown sugar (ketchup is sweet enough).
