Hawaiian Spareribs

"My mother used to make this for the family when I was little. And only once in blue moon thing, so it was a real treat when we got it. It came out of a recipe book that mom would get sections for when she bought gas at gas station. Everytime you filled the car up you got a new section. The book is huge and has everything you want to know about cooking, etiquette, and proper table settings. The book is almost wore out, but this will always be my favorite recipe out of it!"
