Sweet and sour spareribs
Why I Love This Recipe
These from our holiday family potluck - and it is a good thing that they are small because we end up with so much to choose from you want to try everything. If you want to leave the rib pieces bigger you can, but I think the smaller pieces make them easier to eat
