Betty makes these barbecued ribs the first night out on cattle drives. She says they’re easy to serve after camp is set up.

SERVES 6

3 lbs pork or beef ribs
1 large onion, chopped
½ cup water
¼ cup vinegar
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika

● Arrange ribs in a single layer in a large shallow casserole dish. Bake in a 350 ◦ F oven for 1 hour. Skim off fat.

● Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for 30 minutes. Pour over ribs and cook for 1 to 1-1/2 hours, or until meat is tender.
