My mother got this recipe in the '40s, and I often requested this dish for my birthday meal. The gravy is delicious.

The recipe wisely states to skim the fat from the pan after cooking the meat. Short ribs don't always look all that fatty, which is probably why I forgot to do that important step. So, if you make this remember to skim so your sauce won't be too greasy. The flavor was nice and not too sweet and I'm sure it's very good as written.
