Preparation

Step 1

Ribs
Preheat oven to 350° F.Place ribs in large baking pan deep enough to accommodate ribs Scatter lemon and onion slices over the top. Season with salt and pepper. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Check to see if ribs are tender, if not, bake about 10 more minutes. Drain off fat and set aside while making sauce. Ribs can be cooled, covered and refrigerated to this point.

Plum Sauce
Heat oil in medium saucepan, add onion and garlic; saute over medium-low heat until translucent. Add wild plum jam, honey, red wine vinegar, ground ginger and freshly ground pepper. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes. Set aside half of the sauce for basting and half for a dipping sauce.

To Grill
Preheat a gas grill on medium heat for 10 minutes. Place ribs on grill, basting with sauce. Turn frequently, basting with more sauce for 15 minutes or until ribs are browned and crisp. Heat remaining sauce and serve with the ribs.
