By prairiemama

I made these a lot growing up. Bread dipped in the drippings is really good.

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 pounds lean spareribs
• 2 onions, sliced
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup water
• 2/3 cup canned pineapple juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven broiler
2. Broil spareribs till brown on each side
3 Season with salt and pepper
4. Turn once
5. Place onions in dutch oven with 2 tablespoons fat
from broiler pan
6. Add rest of ingredients and meat
7. Cover and simmer over low heat for 2 hours

I seem to remember this having pineapple chunks in it,
so I'm guessing that's where the pineapple juice comes from.
