Glazed Barbecued Ribs - Baked

I found this recipe for ribs when it was just too cold and inclement to even turn on the grill. While we still enjoy grilled ribs, this is a delicious change of pace. NOTE 1: Great alternative for those sensitive to tomatoes. NOTE 2: This is an excellent glaze for spare ribs, western ribs, baby back ribs, etc..... I usually use the amount of ribs on hand, not exceeding 3 packages.
