Potluck Spareribs

INGREDIENTS

6 pounds pork spareribs

1 1/2 cups ketchup

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup vinegar

1/2 cup honey

1/3 cup soy sauce

1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon ground mustard

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon pepper

DIRECTIONS

Cut ribs into serving-size pieces; place with the meaty side up on racks in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pans. Cover tightly with foil. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1-1/4 hours or until meat is tender.

Drain; remove racks and return ribs to pans. Combine remaining ingredients; pour over ribs. Return to the oven, uncovered, for 35 minutes or until sauce coats ribs, basting occasionally. Ribs can also be grilled over medium-hot heat for the last 35 minutes instead of baking.

Lemon Pie:

1/2 cup lemon juice (fresh or bottled)

1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

3 egg yolks

1 graham cracker crust

1 12 ounce tub of whipped cream

zest of 1 lemon, if desired

Mix together with a blender the first three ingredients and pour into pie crust, top with whipped cream and lemon zest, chill for at least two hours.

No baking required. The acid from the lemon juice actually cooks the egg yolks.

You can't get any easier!!!

2(8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup cheddar

1 cup mozzarella

1 (8 ounce) jar dried beef, chopped

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

buy a couple of packages of frozen meatballs. Use a small bottle of Bull's Eye BBQ sauce and about ½ c of grape jelly mixed in it... put the meatballls in the oven for a few minutes to warm, toss them in the bbq sauce mixture and let people help themselves or keep some toothpicks handy so they can be eaten one at a time...
