Spareribs Country Style - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lb. spareribs, cut into bite size pieces
1/4 c. shortening
3/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. rubbed sage
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

Preparation

In a large skillet, melt shortening.
Brown ribs on both sides in hot fat.
Add boiling water to almost cover meat; simmer, covered, until tender, or about 1 1/2 hours.
Potatoes may be cooked in the liquid, or a gravy may be made by thickening with flour and seasoning, after meat has been moved to serving platter. Spareribs go well with sauerkraut, too.
