Notes

  • What is a pork spare rib? This cut of meat is also known as a St. Louis style rib.  They tend to be small in size than a baby back rib.  The ribs have meat in between each bone, and on the top of the bone.
  • Mom's Oven Baked Pork Ribs include a parboil step. What is parboiling?  It is when you partially cook a food in gently boiling water.  Don't use a hard boil or you could toughen the meat.
  • Be sure to bake uncovered.  This allows the ribs to get a nice brown color.  You'll want to watch the ribs so they don't get too dark.
  • I recommend basting the ribs several times.  What is basting? It means to pour the juices over the meat during backing to keep it moist and flavorful.  I like to turn my barbecued pork ribs over half way through cooking so that the other side gets browned too.
  • If you desire a sticky barbecued pork rib, right before serving, remove the ribs from the sauce and broil for a couple extra minutes.
  • The sauce is finger-licking good.  Don't waste it!  Serve the oven barbecued pork ribs over rice.  It will absorb the yummy flavors.
