I cooked these delicious ribs every Christmas with potato salad and cole slaw. My family is in love with this new tradition. Guests relax after a day of opening gifts and conversations go on for hours because no one once to leave any spareribs behind! <br/>There is some prep necessary, but you can put them in the oven or crock pot and forget about them. I normally double the recipe and get the butcher to cut the ribs into singles. Enjoy!
