- Braise ribs in oven until very tender, about 2 hours. (If making ahead, see cooks' note, below.).
- Before Serving:.
- Reduce oven temperature to 200°F.
- Transfer ribs to a baking dish, arranging them in 1 layer, and keep warm in oven.
- Skim fat from cooking liquid if desired, then make glaze by boiling liquid, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until syrupy and reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Brush glaze generously on ribs.
- Cooks' Note: Ribs can be braised 5 days ahead and cooled completely in cooking liquid, uncovered, then chilled, covering them once they are completely cold. To reheat, set roasting pan with ribs and cooking liquid over moderate heat, covered with foil. Simmer, covered, turning once, until they are heated through, about 15 minutes, then transfer ribs to a baking dish and keep warm. Make glaze as directed.

I'm an at-home mom of 4, varying ages from 20 - 4. I love to cook the old-fashioned foods, and have found (almost) no replacement for my grandmother's Fanny Farmer cookbook.
