Ingredients
- 5 lbs. spareribs, cut into two-rib pieces
- 2 t salt, divided
- 1 can(16 oz.)sliced cling peaches in light syrup
- 2 cans (12 oz. each) root beer
- 1/2 c brown sugar
- 1/4 c cornstarch
- 1/4 c vinegar

Directions
Place ribs in the bottom of shallow baking pan. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 375 degrees F. one hour. Remove from oven and pour off accumulated fat.
Drain peaches, reserving syrup, and set aside. In medium saucepan, combine peach syrup, root beer, brown sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, ginger and remaining salt. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth, thickened and clear, about 5 minutes. Pour two cups of the sauce over spareribs and return to oven. Reserve remaining sauce. Bake ribs at 375 degrees F. for 30 to 45 minutes longer, turning and basting with sauce several times. Add sliced peaches to remaining sauce, heat throughout. Pour over ribs just before serving.
