5-6 lb baby back ribs
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar and dark brown sugar

Sauce
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup minced Vidalia onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups ketchup

1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp mustard

Note: Sauce can be prepared several days in advance. Warm butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add onion and saute until tender, but not brown. Stir in garlic. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer about 4 5minutes or until sauce is thickened.

Ribs: Preheat oven to 350. Cut ribs into individual serving pieces. Toss with vinegar and sprinkle with brown sugar. Place in foil and wrap tightly. Place on a rack in a roasting pan. Fill bottom of roasting pan with water up to 1/2 inch deep. Cover roaster and place it in preheated oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Add water as needed to bottom of roaster. Keep 1/2 inch deep. Remove roaster from oven. Pour sauce over ribs. Cover roaster, return to oven and bake 25-35 minutes more or until ribs are tender and darkening around the edges, but not burned. Remove from oven and serve.
