Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350F. Rinse ribs under cold water to get rid of any little bone shards..Pat dry and cut into individual ribs

• 3. Bake covered for 1 hr then remove pan from oven and drain and discard any fat in pan any SAFE way you choose.
• 4. Stir ribs and return pan to oven and bake for another 1/2 hr. Do the grease thing again, if necessary.
• 5. Turn oven to 325, pour tomato and garlic sauce over ribs and mix around. Return pan to oven and bake uncovered for another 1/2 hr.

MUM'S TUESDAY NIGHT SPARE-RIBS (REVISED)

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 350F. Rinse ribs under cold water to remove any bone shards
• 2. Cut individual ribs between the bones and place in a dutch oven. Liberally shake pepper over them and mix the ribs around to get full coverage. Cover the pot and put them in your pre-heated oven.
• 3. You have 45 minutes to go do something :) How about stepping outside with a coffee and taking pictures of the gorgeous day!
• 4. After 45 minutes, reduce heat to 325F and remove pot from oven and drain any grease that has accumulated. Recover and put back in oven. *Old coffee cans are great grease catchers.
• 5. This is what I like about this recipe. Another 45 minutes to fill. You are not a slave to the kitchen for 2 solid hours :)
• 6. After another 45 minutes, remove pot from oven and drain grease again, if necessary.
• 7. Pour VH sauces over ribs in pot and mix around to coat ribs. Put pot back in oven (uncovered) for 1/2 hour. To make Mum's original ribs, this is where you would pour the can of tomato sauce on the ribs and follow the recipe to the end. Potatoes go better with this method than rice. I think so anyway :)
• 8. Use this time to prepare your side of rice or potatoes. Give the ribs a stir in the oven after about 15 minutes and turn the oven off. Leave the ribs in the oven to take advantage of the last of the heat. They will be perfect by the time your side is ready.
• 9. When your side is ready, remove ribs from oven and spoon them onto your rice or beside your potato and use the sauce in the pot to drizzle over everything. It is a sweet sauce, so don't overdo it.

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.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON SLOW-COOKED SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Place the ribs into a large pot, and cover with lightly salted water. Bring the ribs to a boil, and boil for 45 minutes. Drain off the water and set the ribs aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until the oil shimmers, and brown the ribs on all sides, about 10 minutes per side. Remove the ribs, and pour in the beef broth, ketchup, brown sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, seafood seasoning, dried onion, nutmeg, and salt and pepper. Stir the ingredients until the sauce has dissolved any brown bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium-low heat, and transfer the ribs back into the sauce.
• Coat the ribs with sauce, cover the pan, and simmer over low heat until the meat is very tender and falls off the bones, about 3 hours.
