Sweet and Sour Ribs
This recipe was taken from a cookbook I did years ago while I was nursing. Our family has enjoyed these many, many times. I have tweaked it slightly, these are some of the best ribs I have ever had!!
Ingredients
- 3 lbs. of pork back ribs
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 1/2 cups vinegar
- 4 Tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
- 4 Tbsp. flour mixed with 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Season the ribs with garlic powder and salt and pepper on both sides.
- Broil the ribs well under a broiler on both sides. They don't have to be cooked through, just nicely browned. I sometimes use my cookie cooling rack fitted over the bottom broiler pan as they cook really well this way, nice and crisp. You can broil the ribs individually also.
- If you find you have too many ribs you can divide the ribs and broil them in batches
- In a large pot mix together the sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and flour-water mixture and bring to a boil.
- Simmer until the mixture starts to thicken.
- Once you have finished broiling all the ribs cut them into individual pieces and add them to the pot.
- Cover and allow to simmer in the sauce for 45-60 min. until the meat is starting to pull away from the bone and the sauce is thick and sticky.
- Serve over basmati rice with your favorite vegetable.
