[:D]Al-The-Mayor-Bowen,my mom made her ribs like your grandmother.
Momma would put saurkraut,potatoes and apples with the spareribs,and just salt and pepper them.Which she did most of the time.
Or she baked the spareribs with a little water in the pan,and then later pour Kraft or other BBQ sauce on them,and continue to bake until very tender.
Thanks for the wonderful memory you brought back to mind on her birthday today.Wish she was still here.
