Asian Ribs

4 to 4-½ pounds bone-in pork country-style spareribs
1 bottle (12 ounces) chili sauce
1 jar (12 to 13 ounces) plum preserves or preserves of your choice
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce

1. Place ribs in two ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dishes. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45 minutes; drain.

2. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. Set aside ¾ cup sauce for serving.

3. Brush ribs with some of the remaining sauce. Bake, uncovered, for 30-45 minutes or until ribs are tender, turning and basting frequently with remaining sauce. Serve with reserved sauce.

Yields: 8 servings

NOTES:
I usually brine ribs (using THE Ribs recipe) and cook with coke as well with this recipe, gets them nice and tender.
