Peachy BBQ Spareribs (oven method)
net.cooks/Wayne Thompson (1985)
4-6 servings

Moons ago my MOM made this for all us kids. Wouldn't eat it (ribs and peaches? YUCHH!). Years (literally) passed. Well, if you hadn't guessed, when I tried it, I decided to post it to the net (as soon as I grew up).

3 lbs. pork spareribs, cut into serving size pieces
2 tsp. salt
1 (#2.5) can cling peach halves
1 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp. worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. instant minced onions or 1/4 cup minced onions
2 Tbsp. flour
2 Tbsp. prepared mustard
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. pepper

Preheat oven to 375. In shallow roasting pan, arrange ribs, meaty side up; sprinkle with 1 tsp. salt. Drain peaches, save syrup.

In saucepan, blend 1 cup syrup with ketchup, worcestershire, onion, flour, cloves, 1 tsp. salt, and pepper. Heat to boiling; pour over ribs. Bake about 1 1/2 hour, or until fork tender, turning once.

Arrange peaches around ribs and bake about 5 minutes basting with sauce.
