Just the tempting aroma of these ribs reminds me of many simple but delicious meals mom made.  Dad especially loved these tender tasty ribs with their thick, tangy sauce.  Mom liked them because the sauce was no fuss to make.

I still remember coming home from church to the smell of these ribs baking in the oven alongside baked potatoes.  They have an old-fashioned homemade barbecue sauce that clings to every morsel.
