Plum-Barbecued Spareribs

• 4 pounds pork spareribs or pork baby back ribs
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 can (16-1/2 ounces) purple plums in heavy syrup, undrained
• 1 tablespoon chopped onion
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Dash each ground cloves and nutmeg

1. Place ribs on two foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pans. Cover and bake at 325u0b0 for 2 hours; drain. Drain plums, reserving syrup. Remove and discard pits from plums.
2. In a blender, combine the plums, syrup, onion, soy sauce, lemon zest, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg; cover and process until smooth. Pour into a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
3. Cut ribs into serving size pieces. Place meat side up in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish; spread with 2/3 cup plum sauce. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until ribs are tender, basting three times with remaining sauce.
