Sweet and Tangy Spareribs

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup bacon drippings
• 3 pounds pork spareribs
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup prepared mustard
• 1/4 cup light molasses
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Heat bacon drippings in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Place spareribs in the skillet, and brown on each side for about 5 minutes. Season with garlic salt and pepper.

In a medium bowl, mix mustard, molasses, soy sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce.

Place browned ribs in a large baking dish. Cover with the mustard sauce mixture.

Bake 2 1/2 to 3 hours in the preheated oven, basting occasionally with the sauce mixture, to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
