Precook spareribs on the rack over a baking sheet at 180°C (350°F) for one hour.

Prepare sauce by combining all Sweet and Sour ingredients in a saucepan.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer to desired consistency.

Smoking Method:

Preheat the Bradley Smoker to approximately 90°C (220°F).

Remove spareribs from the oven and place them on an oiled smoker rack.

Brush both sides of spareribs liberally with Sweet and Sour Sauce.

Using Hickory flavor bisquettes smoke/cook for 2½ to 3 hours or until done.

Remove occasionally to rebaste with Sweet and Sour Sauce.

Cooking time will vary, depending on weather and wind conditions.

Meat should be tender and pull easily away from bones when ready to serve.
