Pork BBQ

2 pounds pork country style spare ribs
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 TBS worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 tsp tabasco (optional...I use it)
1 tsp mustard
2 TBS brown sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp paprika

Mix all the ingredients together and pour over the meat which has been browned. Cover and place in a 325 degree oven for three hours. (You can check after 2 but I usually find it falls apart better after 3 hours.) Using forks pull apart all the meat ...shred it. If the sauce is to runny for your taste you may cook it down on the stove top.

For our group I made one and a half batches for each family.
