Oven-barbecued Baby Back Ribs

Ingredients

2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons cayenne
Salt and black pepper
1 4-pound slab baby back ribs
Cilantro Potato Salad (recipe follows)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a bowl combine all ingredients except ribs to make a sauce; season with salt and pepper. On a rack set in a roasting pan season ribs with salt and pepper and brush with a thick layer of sauce. Roast ribs, basting every 30 minutes, until tender and falling off the bone, about 1 1/2 hours. Slice into individual ribs before serving with potato salad.
