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.

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: For this recipe, country-style pork ribs are best. They are meatier and have more flavor than other types of ribs.
- Trim the ribs: Before cooking, remove any excess fat or silver skin from the ribs. This will help the ribs cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Season the ribs: Season the ribs generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
- Brown the ribs: Sear the ribs in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until they are browned on all sides. This will help to seal in the flavor and prevent the ribs from drying out.
- Simmer the ribs: Transfer the ribs to a large pot and cover them with water or broth. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer the ribs for 1-2 hours, or until they are fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Make the sauce: While the ribs are simmering, make the sauce. In a saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until it has thickened.
- Glaze the ribs: Once the ribs are cooked, remove them from the pot and brush them with the sauce. Return the ribs to the pot and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has caramelized.
Conclusion:
This Italian Country-Style Ribs recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor, and the sauce is tangy and sweet. Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or coleslaw.
