Barbecue Spareribs – Gluten and Dairy free

This recipe is from an old set of cook books from the 1970’s but a lovely sauce nonetheless.  

Barbecue Spareribs - Gluten and Dairy Free

The original recipe says to cover the uncooked ribs with the sauce and bake for 1 hour but I like to pre-boil the ribs as it makes them more tender.
