Hill Country Ribs

From the Kitchen of: Shelley

In Texas, it is traditional that you serve these with pinto beans, potato salad, onion rings, Texas toast, cole slaw, onions, pickles, apricots, and wash it down with plenty of ice cold tea.

Mix the salt and pepper and rub on all surfaces of the ribs. Place ribs on a rack in a roasting pan, add water to the pan to almost touch rack. Place uncovered in a 450 degree oven for 30 minutes.

Combine sauce ingredients in a saucepan and simmer 10 minutes. Place ribs over low coals and cook slowly 1 1/2 hours, basting frequently with sauce. Cook completely.
