Glazed Spareribs & BBQ Beans

Queen Puff's Note:

This is a recipe I came across many years ago that I don't make very often but I definitely do not want to lose because it is delicious. This is a little more time consuming than I usually have time to deal with but it is worth it when I do have the time. I normally make my baked beans a different way but when I make these I have to use this recipe for beans because the flavors are so great with the ribs. Enjoy.
