Potluck Spareribs

From Taste of Home. The sauce makes the bottom of the baking pan REALLY sticky and icky, so next time I'll cover the pan with foil before I put the ribs in. I didn't really find basting necessary because the sauce was so thick -- it coated the ribs on its own.

• Ready In: 2 hrs
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 6  lbs  pork spareribs
• 1 1⁄2 cups ketchup
• 3⁄4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1⁄2 cup vinegar
• 1⁄2 cup honey
• 1⁄3 cup soy sauce
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 3⁄4 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Cut ribs into serving-size pieces; place with the meaty side up on racks in two greased 9X13-inch baking pans.
2. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/4 hours or until meat is tender.
3. Drain; remove racks and return ribs to pans.
4. Combine remaining ingredients; pour over ribs.
5. Return to oven, uncovered, for 35 minutes or until sauce coats ribs, basting occasionally.
6. Ribs can also be grilled over medium-hot coals for the last 35 minutes instead of baking.
