  5      pounds        Pork spare ribs
                       Salted water
    1/2  cup           Butter
  1      medium        Onion -- , finely chopped
  1      cup           Water
    1/2  cup           Vinegar
  1      cup           Tomato catsup
  1      cup           Commercial barbecue sauce --
                       (hickory smoked type)
  1                    Lemon -- (juice from)
                       Salt to taste
                       Fresh ground pepper -- to taste
                       Tabasco sauce -- to taste

Slice the ribs apart and place in a large cast iron skillet. Cover with
salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer over low
heat for one hour, or until the meat is fork tender but not falling from
the bones.

While the ribs are cooking, prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a
saucepan and saute the finely chopped onion. Stir in the water, vinegar,
catsup, bottled sauce, lemon juice, and seasonings. Bring to a boil,
stirring, and remove from heat.

Place the ribs in a shallow pan and cover with the sauce, coating the ribs
evenly. Place in the refrigerator for at least two hours.

Barbecue the ribs on an outdoor grill over moderately hot coals, basting
with the sauce and turning often until well browned.
