Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

ingredients
4 pounds country-style pork ribs
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup mild soy sauce
1/3 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
3 dashes hot pepper sauce
cayenne pepper, optional
2 oranges, unpeeled, thinly sliced
celery leaves for garnish, optional
directions
Cut off excess fat from ribs. Heat oil in a deep skillet; brown ribs on all sides. Place them in a roasting pan.
Combine soy sauce, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, garlic, black pepper, chili powder, hot pepper sauce and cayenne. Pour sauce over ribs, turning to coat evenly. Cover with foil and bake at 325 degrees F for 45 to 50 minutes.
Uncover. Spoon sauce over ribs. Leave uncovered and bake 45 to 50 minutes longer until ribs are tender, a rich brown and begin to crisp.
Serve on a large platter, spooning extra sauce over ribs. Garnish with orange slices and celery leaves, if desired.

This is a wonderful dish! I got this recipe many years ago when I had a subscription to a series of recipe cards from My Great Recipes. It has remained a favorite of anyone who's tried it through the years, and has been one of my most requested meals. One might not think the sauce ingredients sound like a good mix, but they're excellent! The ribs become saturated with it, and are melt in your mouth tender. I'm not a barbeque fan, and this isn't intended to be a bbq rib recipe, but I love it, and it's close enough to a bbq sauce that fans of barbeque sauces have loved it, too. While it does take some time, it's mostly cooking time in the oven. The actual prep is very easy.
