Ingredients

• 1  large onion, peeled and chopped
• 2  tablespoons  vegetable oil
• 2  tablespoons soy sauce
• 1  cup ketchup

• 1  orange, peeled, seeded, and chopped
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  smoked paprika
• 2 1⁄2 lbs country-style pork ribs, trimmed of excess fat

Directions

1. Saute onion in oil until it caramelizes to a golden brown.
2. Add remaining ingredients, simmer a little while (an hour or so), taste, and add more brown sugar if you think it requires it.
