I chose this recipe because it was the shortest cooking time, and yet the ribs (beef back ribs that were $1.99/lb) came out quite tender! Not falling off the bone but not labor intensive chewing either. The sauce was extremely delicious--I subbed canned diced peaches for the baby food, but next time I might just use a few teaspoons of apricot jam since I think it would achieve the same fruity effect. I also subbed a splash of lemon juice concentrate for the lemon slices. And I left out the bell pepper.

<p>I was lucky to be born in Hawaii and I work as an ICU nurse in Honolulu. I love gardening and I have the sagging bookshelf full of books to prove it. I also love to bake, but I'm not really a good cook unless I have a recipe. I also have over 200 cookbooks and the cabinet is full!</p>
