Country-style spare ribs are a classic American comfort food, known for their fall-off-the-bone tenderness and rich, flavorful sauce. This recipe takes the classic dish to the next level with a special ingredient: Depression sauce. Depression-era cooks used this sweet and tangy sauce to add flavor to simple, inexpensive ingredients, and it pairs perfectly with the hearty pork ribs.
The recipe also includes instructions for making homemade coleslaw and baked beans, two classic side dishes that complement the spare ribs perfectly. The coleslaw is a crisp, refreshing contrast to the rich ribs, while the baked beans add a sweet and smoky flavor.
TANGY COUNTRY-STYLE RIBS
We love it when Mom fixes these tender sweet-and-sour ribs smothered in a tangy sauce. She doubles the batch when our family gets together so there'll be enough for each of us to take some home for our freezers. -Jeanne Voss Anaheim Hills, California

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with a cooling rack. Working in batches, season the pork ribs on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper and lightly toss in flour. Transfer the ribs to the baking sheet and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to a large cast iron skillet or dutch oven (with a lid) over medium/medium high heat. When the oil is warm and shimmering, brown the ribs in batches, turning on all sides until golden, about 15-20 minutes per batch. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan or the ribs will steam and won't get that delicious golden crust.
- Transfer the browned ribs back to the baking sheet and wipe any burned pieces out of the pan. Add the remaining oil, and continue browning the rest of the ribs.
- While the ribs are cooking, mix the BBQ sauce ingredients together and preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Add all of the ribs back to the dutch oven, snuggling them evenly together. Scatter the tops with the sliced onions. Whisk the BBQ sauce and pour evenly over the onions and ribs.
- Cover tightly with the lid and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the onions are soft and jammy and the pork is tender. Midway through cooking, I usually open the oven and spoon the sauce over the ribs and onions.
- Skim any excess fat from the sauce if needed (depending on how fatty the ribs are) and serve hot with au gratin or mashed potatoes with the sauce and onions spooned on top.

SAVORY COUNTRY-STYLE SPARERIBS
This recipe is a result of trying different combinations over the years. It will continue to evolve because, for me, a recipe is just a starting point when I cook. Country-style ribs are not really ribs in the true sense, they are meatier and often are boneless. But the end results are just as delicious! These are good served with a tossed green or Caesar salad and Recipe #113186.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Place spare ribs in a large bowl or gallon size zip-lock bag.
- Add olive oil and zesty Italian dressing packets.
- Mix well. Refrigerate and marinade for at least 1 hour. (You can leave it in the marinade over night if you want).
- Microwave on high for 10-15 minutes, or until ribs are brown, but not cooked through. I microwave them in the bag but you can put them in a microwave safe dish if you prefer. (I use a freezer bag which is thicker and holds up to the heat. I open the seal to vent and place it in a bowl or on a plate - just in case - but have never had a problem).
- While ribs are in microwave, combine the remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until well dissolved and heated through.
- Remove ribs from bag and place in a deep 9 x 13 pan that has been prepared with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour sauce over ribs, covering evenly.
- Bake for 1 hour, until ribs are cooked through.
- Baste occasionally, if desired.
- NOTE:***These can also be cooked on the grill with delicious results, just baste them frequently and watch them carefully so they do not burn.
