   Find a great price on spareribs in the supermarket? Divide your
   purchase into three-pound portions and cook as in step 2. Cool, place
   in freezer bags and freeze until needed. While the grill is heating
   up, defrost the ribs in the microwave.

   ~------------------ 1.  About 1/2 hour before cooking, prepare
   barbecue grill. 2. Cut pork between rib bones into serving-size
   portions. Place ribs meaty side down in 2- or 3-quart rectangular
   microwaveproof dish, with thicker portions toward outside of dish
   (overlapping ribs if necessary). Cover with wax paper and microwave
   on High for 5 minutes, then on Medium for 15 minutes. Turn ribs over;
   place less-cooked pieces toward outside of dish. Cover again and
   microwave on Medium for 15 minutes, or until tender. 3. Place ribs on
   grill over medium-hot coals.  (Coals should be ash-gray with no
   flame.) Cook for 10 minutes, turning once and basting with 1/2 cup
   Sweet-and-Sour sauce. Serve with remaining sauce. Per Serving: 747
