This was one of my husbands favorite meals growing up. His mom made it often to feed her family of six.

BAR-B-Q Spare Ribs

Brown the spare ribs slightly about 1.5-2 pounds. I bake in oven for about 15 min

Sauce:

1 can tomato soup

1 can water

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp vinegar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp chili powder

½ tsp pepper

¼ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp cloves

2 medium onions, cut into small wedges

Boil all together. Add spare ribs and simmer for about 1 ½ hours. I have put everything in a crock pot and cooked on low for 4-6 hours.

Serve over rice.

This recipe does not come out well doubled.

I found this awhile ago but tweaked it a bit to give it more flavor. It is really delicious right out of the oven. I sprinkle cinnamon on the apples before I add the maple, and I also sprinkle cinnamon in with the flour and oatmeal.

• 5 apples - peeled, cored and sliced
• 2/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch salt
• 3/4 cup rolled oats

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Place the apples in an 8×8 inch baking dish. Pour the maple syrup over the apples. In a bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar. Stir in the flour, salt and oats. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the apples.
3. Bake in preheated oven 35 minutes, until golden and bubbly and apples are tender.

I played around a bit with this until I concocted something that suited me!
