Ingredients

• 1/2 c. butter
• 2 med. clove garlic, finely chopped
• 2 env. Lipton onion-mushroom recipe soup mix
• 2 (16 oz.) can tomato puree
• 1/2 c. brown sugar
• 1/2 c. soy sauce
• 1/2 c. white vinegar
• 1/2 c. chili sauce
• 5-6 lbs. country-style ribs

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In large saucepan, melt butter and cook garlic with onion-mushroom recipe soup mix over medium heat 1 minute or until garlic is golden. Stir in tomato puree, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, and chili sauce. Bring to a boil, then simmer, stirring occasionally 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in large aluminum-foil-lined baking pan or broiler rack, arrange spareribs, meaty side up, and bake 20-25 minutes. Turn heat to 350 degrees. Brush spareribs generously with sauce, then continue baking, meaty side up, brushing occasionally with remaining sauce another 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until very fork tender. When ribs start browning on top tightly cover with aluminum foil.
