1 Tbsp butter or margarine
1 garlic clove - minced

2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp onion - chopped

Cut ribs into serving size pieces. In large sauce pan, cover ribs with salted water and simmer until nearly tender, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt butter; add garlic and cook 4 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.

Drain ribs and place in a shallow pan. Pour boiling sauce over the ribs.

Bake in 350 F open for 20 minutes, basting often with sauce.
