Pour sauce over ribs, and bake, uncovered 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours longer, turning and basting every 20 minutes until tender and richly browned.

Variation
Favorite Charcoal-Barbecued Spareribs:
Wrap ribs in a double thickness heavy foil and bake 1-1/2 hours at 350 degrees F. Unwrap and drain off drippings. Marinate ribs in sauce 1 to 2 hours at room temperature; meanwhile, prepare a moderate charcoal fire. Remove ribs from sauce, lay on grill about 4 inches from coals, taking care not to crowd them, and broil 20 minutes, basting frequently with sauce and turning often.
