For enhanced flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the sauce. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add an extra tablespoon or two. For even more tender ribs, consider slow-cooking them at a lower temperature (e.g., 300°F) for a longer period (e.g., 3 hours covered, 1 hour uncovered).

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
0 mins
Arrange the spareribs in a large roasting pan with a tight-fitting lid. If you don't have a lid, heavy-duty aluminum foil works well to create a sealed environment.
03
Step
5 mins
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced onion, ketchup, water (or chicken broth), chopped celery, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04
Step
0 mins
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the spareribs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the roasting pan tightly with the lid or aluminum foil.
05
Step
1 hrs 30 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes. The covered roasting ensures the ribs stay moist and tender. (Cook time: 90 minutes)
06
Step
30 mins
Remove the lid or foil from the roasting pan. Continue to bake until the pork is incredibly tender and the sauce has thickened and become beautifully caramelized, approximately 30 minutes. (Cook time: 30 minutes)
07
Step
10 mins
Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more flavorful and tender ribs.
