Oven Barbecued Ribs


1 side of baby back ribs
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup water
2/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 Tbs. sherry or white wine vinegar
3/4 tsp. dry mustard
3/4 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. paprika
1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce

Arrange ribs in shallow roasting pan. Distribute lemon and onion slices over ribs. Pour in water. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 50 to 60 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, chili powder, salt, paprika and Worcestershire. Cook, uncovered, until sauce thicken slightly. Set aside.

Remove ribs form oven, lift off and discard lemon and onion slices. Lift out ribs and cut between each rib bone.

Discard pan drippings. Return ribs to pan in a single layer with meaty sides up. Brush all over with barbeque sauce using about  1/2 of  the sauce.

Return ribs to oven and continue baking, uncovered, brushing often with remaining sauce, for 30 to 35 more minutes or until meat is well browned and fork tender.
