Winter Hot and Sweet Ribs

Dificulty: easy, Serving: 4-8, Preparation time: 1 hour 30 minutes,
What we need: large pan, medium bowl, baking dish, oven

These ribs are made in your oven, so no need to wait for nice weather. The sweetness plus just the right amount of spice makes for a perfect combination.

While these ribs cook, your house will smell so good you'll be drooling by the time they're ready. The secret ingredient is baby food. Seriously. (Don't knock it 'til you try it.)

  • 4 lb. lean pork ribs
  • 8 oz. strained peaches (baby food)

  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 2 tsp. ginger

  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. hot sauce (like Tabasco)
