Amazing Pork Country Style Spare Ribs

I learned this recipe from an old friend during the first year that my husband and I were married.  It is most definitely a family favorite!

Slow Cooked Pork Country-Style Ribs

~2 1/2 pounds pork country style spareribs
~1/2 cup of cornmeal mixed with 1/2 cup cornstarch
Sea salt
Lemon pepper
Medium sweet onion, cut up
1/2 cup water

Season the ribs with the sea salt and lemon pepper.  Dredge them in the cornstarch/cornmeal mixture.  Place them into a large baking pan, approximately 17"x10"x2 1/2".  Distribute the onion over the tops of the ribs evenly.  Add the water carefully to the open areas of the baking pan.  Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake the ribs for 1 1/2 hours at 350 or up to 3 hours at 275.  The longer and slower the baking, the more tender and flavorful the ribs!

About 30 minutes before serving, remove the foil and coat the ribs with a bar-be-que sauce (BBQ, barbecue) of your choice.  Here are a couple we particularly like:  Orange Honey Sauce & Most Excellent BBQ Sauce
