We love it when Mom fixes these tender sweet-and-sour ribs smothered in a tangy sauce. She doubles the batch when our family gets together so there'll be enough for each of us to take some home for our freezers. —Jeanne Voss Anaheim Hills, California

I already had the ribs in the oven and realized I didn't have the chili sauce or any tomato sauce to try to substitute. So I made do with 1/2 cup of McCormick's Grill Mates Smoky Montreal steak sauce, 1/2 cup of kethcup, a little brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice and ground cloves in place of the 1 cup chili sauce. The whole family really enjoyed these!

My family loved this recipe. I also loved how easy it was and that the ribs were so tender. Leftovers made great pulled pork sandwiches. Note...the recipe header indicates that baking time is 1-1/2 hours; the total baking time is actually 2+ hours.
