Oven-Barbecued Ribs (Or Grilled)

This is what I fixed for our Memorial Day dinner this weekend.  The sauce is awesome.  Even though it is an oven dinner, I put the ribs on the grill the same temperature and time as the oven method.

• 4 lbs. pork loin back ribs or meaty spareribs, cut into serving-size pieces
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2/3 cup chili sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons celery seed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Place the ribs in a stockpot; add enough water to cover ribs.  Bring to boiling; reduce heat.  Simmer, covered, for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, for sauce, in a small saucepan cook the garlic in hot butter for 1 minute.  Stir in ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, onion, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, celery seed, and salt.  Bring to boiling, stirring to dissolve the sugar.  Remove from heat; set aside.

Drain ribs;  place in a shallow baking pan.  Pour half the sauce over ribs and keep the other half for adding later, if you need it.  Bake, covered, in a 350 degree oven about 20 minutes or until heated through.  Makes 4 servings.
