My mom made these tender ribs for special Sunday suppers when we were growing up.  A few common ingredients are all you need to make the zesty sauce that coats them.  My family's eyes light up when I bring a plate of these ribs to the table, and company never suspects how easy they are to prepare. - Yvonne White, Williamson, New York
