I have been using this recipe for spareribs for over 40 years. I found it in the Feb. 10, 1973 issue of Reader's Digest as part of an ad for KARO Dark Corn Syrup. (it's a bit dog-eared and stained with ingredients.) Tonight I used the recipe to cook some chicken wings and the recipe is still a winner - even with chicken. This recipe has definitely stood the test of time. Obviously, it's one of my husband's favorites!!!
